Report for the Years 1888-9 ^^^ 1889-90.
Read at the Annual Meeting, held in the Audit Room of the
Chetham Hospital, Manchester, November ^th, 1890.
The members of the Society are aware that last year, owing
to various causes, no Meeting of the Society was held. The
present Report has, therefore, to deal with the proceedings
of the two years, 1888-9 and 1889-90.
Since the last Annual Meeting, held on the 31st October,
1888, four volumes have been delivered to the members ; two
volumes are now in the printers' hands, and two others are
very nearly ready for the press. Of the volumes delivered to
the members, Vol. XVII., Lancashire Inquisitions, Stuart
Period, Vol. III., 1622 to 1625, and Vol. XVIII. , Index to the
Wills at Chester, 1681 to 1700, were fully described in the
last Report. The remaining volumes, XIX. and XX., are the
two volumes for the year 1888-9, ^i^d were issued some
months since. Vol. XIX. is entitled : — 'Memorials of the Civil
War in Cheshire and the adjacent counties,' by Thomas
Malbon, of Nantwich, gent, and ' Providence Improved,'
by Edward Burghall, Vicar of Acton, near Nantwich, edited
by Mr. James Hall, author of *A History of Nantwich.'
This is a most interesting volume, and a valuable historical
record of one of the most eventful periods in the history
of England. The origin of the two MSS. here printed
is not a little curious. In the year 1778, Burghall's
"Providence Improved" was printed for the first time at the
end of the second of two miscellaneous volumes relating to
Cheshire, rather absurdly entitled " The History of Cheshire."
It was afterwards reprinted in 18 19 by Dr. Ormerod
in his "History of Cheshire," and again in 1855 by the
late Mr. T. Worthington Barlow at the end of his book
entitled "Cheshire: its Historical and Literary Associations,"
but in none of these was it accurately done. In each case
the first version, which was full of errors, was copied.
From its first publication it was recognised as an extremely
important addition to Cheshire history, and has been freely

ii Report of the Society.
quoted by all writers on Cheshire, from Dr. Ormerod down-
wards. A few years ago, however, a MS. was referred to in
the fifth Report of the Royal Historical MSS. Commission as
being in the possession of Reginald Cholmondeley, Esq., at
Condover Hall, near Shrewsbury, which, on being examined
by Mr. Hall, was found to be a very full contemporary account
of the Civil War in and around Nantwich, drawn up by
Thomas Malbon, a resident in that town. This MS. is now
here printed in its entirety for the first time, and it is perfectly
clear that it has been the source from whence the Rev. Edward
Burghall compiled his "Providence Improved" about the
year 1660. IMalbon's " Memorials" only relate to the period
1642 to 1648, and Burghall has added a number of so-called
"providences" referring to a period of twelve years or so before
and after Malbon. In order to show the correlation of these
!wo MSS. they have been printed in this volume in close
juxtaposition the one to the other, Malbon's " Memorials," as
being the more valuable, as well as the fuller, being in larger
type than Burghall's.
As printed in this volume (XIX.) these two MSS. will be
found full of very interesting reading and they are simply
invaluable for the history of the period to which they relate.
Instead of a dry record of the action of the various com-
manders on either side during the Civil War in Cheshire and
the adjacent counties, they are crowded with incidents of
much local and general importance, which help to bring the
character of that struggle and its chief actors before us in a
very graphic manner. Mr. Hall has edited this volume with
much care; and, in addition to a very full introduction, he has
printed a " Chronological Table of Contents," which will be
found very useful, and has added several Appendices con-
taining much matter of importance.
Volume XX., which is the Index to the Wills and Inven-
tories now preserved at Chester from 1701 to 1720, has, like
the previous Lists of Wills at Chester, been edited by Mr.
J. P. Earwaker. The Council can only re-iterate what was
stated in the last Report, and express their gratification that
there has now been placed in the hands of the members the
complete list of all the wills relating to Lancashire and
Cheshire, known to be preserved at Chester, from the earliest
date, 1545, to the year 1720, as well as those which were
proved in London between the years 1650 and 1660, when
the Diocesan Courts of Probate were closed. The total
number of wills calendared in the five volumes now printed,
embracing the periods, 1545 to 1620, 1621 to 1660, 1660 to
1680, 1 68 1 to 1700, and 1701 to 1720, cannot be far short
Report of the Society. iii
of 90,000 ! As the names are arranged in strictly alphabetical
order, it is now possible for any one to ascertain, with little
or no trouble, what wills belonging to any particular Lan-
cashire or Cheshire family, down to the year 1720, are now
preserved at Chester, and this too without the necessity or
expense of a visit to Chester and a special search through
each year's Index in the Probate Registry there. It is,
therefore, not surprising that these volumes have been the
most frequently consulted of any printed by the Society, and
that the example which the Record Society has set, with
regard to the wills at Chester, has been and is being followed
by other Societies in various parts of England. The Council
hope to continue the printing of these lists from time to
time down to the year 1780 or possibly 1800.
The two volumes for the year 1889-90 will probably be
(i) the "Register of Leyland, co. Lancaster," 1653 to 1710,
edited, with a careful Introduction and an account of the
church and parish, by the Rev. W. Stuart White, M. A., Curate
of Leyland, and (2) a further volume of the Index to the
Wills at Chester, 1721 to 1740, edited by Mr. Earwaker. Of
these the first volume is already in the press and the second
will be sent to press shortly. The two volumes for the
current year, 1890-91, will consist of a "Miscellaneous
Volume" (the second volume of that character issued by the
Society) and the first volume of the " Lancashire Royalist
Composition Papers" (arranged alphabetically, A to F), edited
by the Rev. J. H. Stanning, M.A., Vicar of Leigh. This latter
volume is now ready for the press and the former will be
ready next year. The Council propose to print in this
Miscellaneous Volume several records of much local value, to
be selected from a number of documents, such as Subsidy
Rolls, Lists of Papist Recusants, &c., now in the hands of the
Hon. Secretary. The Council hope that these volumes will
be issued to the members before the next Annual Meeting.

tions already printed or arranged for, up to the present
time: —

to Lancashire. Part I. A to F.
The last four volumes are those now in hand.
Two volumes have been issued in each year, except on
two occasions, when a single volume of more than average
thickness was substituted for the two volumes.
In previous Reports attention has been directed to the
various volumes which the Council hope to be able to issue
in future years. Of these, perhaps the most important is the
Index to the Raines MSS., now in the Chetham Library,
Manchester, and to the Piccope, Palmer, Barritt, and other
local MSS. there, which will form the first of a series of
volumes, describing the contents of the various MSS. relating
to Lancashire and Cheshire, now preserved in the different
Report of the Society. v
public libraries in the two counties. Since the last Report,
Mr. J. E. Tinkler, recently Librarian at the Chetham Library,
has completed the Index to the 45 folio volumes of the
Raines MSS., and this is now ready for the press. It is not,
however, quite sufficient to make a volume, and the Council
hope to be able to include the Indices to the other MSS. in
the Chetham Library, so as to form a complete record of the
valuable MS. material for local history there preserved.
Mr. J. A. C. Vincent has made considerable progress with his
Report on the Lancashire Lay Subsidy Rolls, but the Council
regret that the volume is not yet fully printed. When
completed it will be found full of original information of
much local value.
As announced in the last Report, the important Court
Rolls of the great Honor of Clitheroe, co. Lancaster, have
during the past few years been carefully examined by two
members of the Society, Mr. A. J. Robinson, of Clitheroe
Castle, and Mr. W. Ecroyd, of Burnley, who have kindly
agreed to allow the results of their labours to be printed by
this Society. The great quantity of material, and the trouble
of making such selections as will show the true value of
these ancient Rolls, are difficulties which the Council trust
these gentlemen will be able to overcome, so that their
account of them, with copious extracts from the Rolls, may
be printed before long.
The Council hope to obtain permission to print the Early
Marriage Licences relating to Lancashire and Cheshire,
preserved in the Bishop's Registry, Chester, which begin in
1608. These Marriage Licences contain information of great
genealogical value, which well deserves to be placed on
permanent record. They are also of use in supplying the
names of the local clergy who were licensed to celebrate
these marriages.
Since the last Report, full abstracts of all the Cheshire
Royalist Composition Papers have been made at the Record
Office, London, and the Council hope to print these documents
at no distant date. The method of arranging, and the value
of this class of local records were described in the Report for
1887 in the following terms, which maybe repeated here:
"The simplest arrangement will probably be an alphabetical
one, as that will bring the many scattered documents
together under the name of the person to whom they relate.
Much light is thrown by these records on the tyrannical and
arbitrary means employed by those in authority in con-
fiscating the property of the Royalists, and the hardships
that the latter had to undergo. These Royalist Composition
Tl
Report of the Society.
Papers, relating as they do to a period (1644 to 1652) of very-
great public interest, will make singularly valuable volumes
for the history of both Lancashire and Cheshire, and will
supply a mass of information entirely new, the very existence
of which, up to a few years ago, was unsuspected."
Several important MSS. have recently been offered to the
Council for publication, such as the " Plundered Ministers'
Accounts" for Lancashire and Cheshireduring the Civil War and
Commonwealth period, to be edited by Mr. W. A. Shaw, M.A.;
the early Registers of Whalley, co. Lancaster, commencing
1538, to be edited by Mr. W. A.Abram; and the Roll of the
Freemen of the City of Chester, to be edited by Mr. T. Cann
Hughes, B.A. These are before the Council, whose desire is
to print such records as will be found of interest to the great
majority of the members of the Society, rather than those
which are likely to be of service to a few members only.
The death of Mr. Thomas Hughes, F.S.A., of Chester, who
was a member of the Council from the commencement of the
Society, has caused a vacancy in the Council, which has been
filled by the appointment of Mr. Henry Taylor, F.S.A., of
Chester, Town Clerk of Flint.
The Council wish to direct special attention to the fact
that the number of members is now much below the 350
names, to which the Society is limited, and they are most
anxious that this should be remedied. The volumes issued
by the Society are of great value for the history of Lancashire
and Cheshire, and the Council think it cannot be a difficult
matter for the present members to interest their friends in a
Society, which has done and is doing such good work.
[^P^ The Council must again refer to Rule 5, under which
no volume can be delivered to any member whose subscrip-
tion is in arrear.
The Balance-sheets, showing the receipts and expenditure
of the Society for the years 1888-9 and 1889-90, will be found
on the next pages.

INTRODUCTION.
|B"j^ Wi HIS volume had its origin in a desire to provide a
||^ ^M| duplicate copy of the Registers of the parish of
I^^M^^ Leyland, so that researchlmight be facilitated, the
originals saved from wear and tear, and the impor-
tant matter contained in them safeguarded from accidental loss
through fire or other mishap. The first portion of the Register
was copied whilst waiting for funerals, which, in this parish, are
frequent and sometimes unpunctual. The idea of publication,
which was an afterthought, supplied the incentive for completion.
The offer of the Lancashire and Cheshire Record Society to
include a transcript of the earliest volume of the Registers
amongst its publications, afforded an opportunity which was
gladly embraced. The genealogical and other notes which have
been appended to most of the important entries in the following
pages are intended to serve merely as indications of the value
of these entries to those who are unaccustomed to the scientific
use of such sources of information. It is hoped that the care
bestowed upon them will have insured a large measure of
accuracy.
The Historical Introduction, with which it was intended to
furnish this volume, has had to be put aside, owing to the
unforeseen length to which the transcript of the Register, with
its notes, has grown. The material, which has been accumu-
lated for that purpose, may possibly see the light at some future
time in a different form. A brief survey of the parish and
church of Leyland, with a list of the Vicars (so far as they are
at present known), must on the present occasion suffice.
The parish of Leyland is of considerable extent, and has
a history of something like a thousand years. It is situated in
vi Introduction.
that part of Lancashire which lies between the Ribble and the
Mersey, and may originally have been co-extensive with the
hundred of Leyland. There have always been, however, within
historic memory, as many as six ancient parishes within that
hundred: Leyland, Penwortham, Croston, Eccleston, Standish,
and Brindle. These parishes, with the forty townships of which
they consist, are constantly mentioned in the Leyland Registers.
The parish of Leyland is bounded on the east by the parish of
Blackburn, on the north by the parish of Penwortham, on the
west by the parish of Croston, and on the south by the parish
of Standish, while the parish of Bolton-le-Moors touches it at
the south-eastern corner. The extreme measurement is (roughly)
nine miles from east to west and five miles from north-west to
south-east.
There are nine townships within the parish of Leyland, which
have from time immemorial been grouped as follows: — Leyland
and Euxton have invariably been the first and second quarters;
Whittle-le-Woods, Clayton-le- Woods, and Cuerden have together
formed the third quarter; Heapey, Wheelton, Hoghton, and
Withnell have always been known as the fourth, or Moor
quarter.
There are good grounds for supposing that Leyland dates
back far into the Saxon era as an ecclesiastical centre, but there
is no direct historical evidence to prove its existence till the
reign of William Rufus. Although the Domesday Book does
not speak of the church of Leyland, yet it does mention a
priest resident there, and it is surely no unfair inference that he
had a church and an altar for his ministry. The Chartulary of
Evesham Abbey (Worcestershire) and the private deeds of the
local families supply us with the information that a donation of
the churches of Leyland, Penwortham, the chapel of Meols, and
other appurtenances of his lordship, was made by Warin Bussel,
a comrade and adherent of Roger of Poictou, soon after the
Conquest. (See Hulton's Priory of Penwortham, Chetham
Society, vol. xxx.) The connection of Matilda, the wife of
Warin Bussel, by association and ownership with the town of
Evesham suggests a motive for his gift of Lancashire territory,
&c., to the Worcestershire monastery. This donation was con-

firmed and added to by successive members of the same family,
so that the Abbot and Convent of Evesham continued to enjoy
the whole of the great tithes of the district and the advowson
of the church until the suppression of the Abbey in 1536. A
special provision for a perpetual vicar was made in 1331, under
the licence of the King and the sanction of the Bishop of the
diocese (Lichfield). A papal bull given on the occasion is also
in existence.
No considerable change took place in the state of the parish
or the position of the vicar until the era of the Reformation
saw the patronage transferred to the family of Fleetwood, which
had become possessed, by purchase from the Crown, of the
neighbouring priory of Penwortham. The disturbed period
from 1645 to 1660 left fewer marks upon the parish than might
have been expected. Vicar Langley, who was growing old
when the Presbyterian system was adopted, sat as a prominent
member of the sixth Classis. His successor, Rothwell, was not
sufficiently puritanical for the zealots, and so he was driven into
hiding until "the King enjoyed his own again," when he reas-
sumed the duties of his office. In 1690 the Crown conferred
upon "the poor Vicar of Leyland" a confiscated estate which
had been assigned to "charitable uses." The sale of the Fleet-
wood property in 1748 led to the transfer of the advowson of
Leyland Church to the Baldwin family, which has supplied
seven of its members as vicars of the said church. The Rev.
Thomas Baldwin, M.A., the first of these, was also one of the
co-rectors of Liverpool, succeeding the Rev. Henry Richmond
in 1721.
The fabric of Leyland Church as at present standing is
worthy of inspection, although it cannot compare with many
other buildings of the same date. The western tower (which is
about twenty-four feet square) and the chancel are the only
parts which are ancient, the nave having been destroyed and
rebuilt in 18 16. The date assigned to these existing portions is
about A.D. 1350. From some fragments which were removed
from the foundations of the south-west wall, it is evident that a
church of Norman construction stood on the same site. The
interior of the chancel has some features of special interest. The
viii Introduction.
three sedilia form an arcading under a simple roll moulding, a
fourth arch covers a double piscina. Opposite to these, in the
thickness of the north wall, is one of those curious openings
known as low-side windows, the middle point of which is in a
direct line with the centre of the altar. Upon one of the window
ledges rest six chained books (popularly supposed to be Bibles),
of which one is a black-letter copy of Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
The south-west corner of the nave is occupied by the ffarington
Chapel, the right to which was confirmed by Bishop Chadderton,
in 1 591. It represents the ancient chantry chapel of S. Nicholas,
founded sometime in the fourteenth century by the lord of the
manor. The tower has a peal of six bells, dating mostly from
1722. The churchyard possesses some ancient and curious
memorials of the departed. There are no less than twenty-five
rude incised crosses in different parts of the yard, and some of
them plainly show the chalice and book of the ecclesiastic.
Most of these are said to be as early as the fourteenth century.
One stone dated 1558 is well worth attention.
The Communion plate is comparatively modern, but one cup
looks as though it had been remodelled. Two pattens, each
with a foot, were given by Mrs. Elizabeth ffarington, widow, in
1 7 16. Two tall flagons and a cup were the gift of Samuel
Crook, gentleman, in 1759. Besides these there is a small
patten, a salver, and a double-handled (pint) cup.
Chantries or Oratories existed at Euxton and at Heapey in
the sixteenth century. Within the present century churches
have been built and districts assigned to Heapey, Hoghton,
Whittle, and Withnell. Euxton is an endowed curacy; but
whether a separate parish or not, does not clearly appear.
The church of St. James, Leyland, built and endowed by the
liberality of the ffarington family, has, since 1855, supplied the
necessities of the western portion of the parish. St. Ambrose
Church (at present a chapel of ease) stands on the northern
boundary of the parish. The late vicar and his wife contributed
very largely towards its erection.
The following is the list of the Vicars of Leyland as far as
their names have been at present traced. It was originally
intended to have given particulars of most of them, collected

(The present vicar.)
I very sincerely regret that the Rev. T. Rigbye Baldwin,
Vicar of Leyland, who gave his sanction to this publication,
X Introduction.
has not lived to see its issue and to receive the befitting
acknowledgment of the favour thus granted. Without the
kind encouragement, assistance, and counsel of the Hon.
Secretary of the Record Society, J. P. Earwaker, Esq., M.A.,
F.S.A., I should not have been able to present the work in the
form which it now assumes. To the same gentleman my
thanks are also due for supervising the proof sheets and for
many suggestions, &c. Valuable assistance has also been
received from Miss ffarington, of Worden Hall, Leyland, W. A.
Abram, Esq., of Blackburn, and W. Brown-Clayton, Esq., of
Brown's Hill, Ireland.
An apology is offered to the members of the Society for the
unavoidable delay which has attended the completion of this
book.

N.B. — The Transcripts of Marriages and Burials are extant at Chester for

The Registers of the Parish
of Leyland (co. Lane).
The earliest Register of the parish of Leyland, now extant,
commences in 1653, those of prior date being unfortunately
lost. It has therefore been thought desirable to print here the
few "Transcripts" of the entries in these Registers, which are
now preserved at the Bishop's Registry at Chester. Every
clergyman was directed to forward to the Bishop of the diocese
a copy of the entries of Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials made
in his parish Register during each year, and such copy had to
be certified as correct by himself and the churchwardens. Much
irregularity prevailed in the sending of these "Transcripts," as
they are technically called, and much laxity was shown in their
safe preservation, even when they reached the custody of the
Bishop's officials. Hence it is that there are now only seven
documents of this class relating to Leyland prior to the year
1653, namely, those for the years 1622, 1629, 1630, 1637, 1639,
1640, and 1 641, each comprising the entries for a single year
only. As the legal year then began on the 25th March, the
entries run from that date till the 24th March following.

Leyland, of Morleys, a reputed manor situated in Astley (near Bedford, co. Lane),
was the son of John Leyland, who married Eleanor, d. of Sir Ric : Molyneux. As
the Molyneux family owned the lordship of Euxton, this may suggest a connection.
A family of Leylands, of yeoman rank, was resident for many years in Clayton.
Representatives of the original stock settled in West Derby, Kellermergh (in Kirkham
parish), &c. The founder of the eminent Liverpool firm seems to have sprung from
Preston, and so of course originally from this parish.
1 The local seed plat of the Nelsons was in Mawdsley township in Croston parish.
^ Is not this the baptism of the celebrated Dr. Kuerden? In the pedigree which
he entered m 1664 he gave his father's name as Gilbert, and his own age as 41 years.
The family appears to have been called Jackson alias Kuerden. There is a tomb-
stone m Leyland churchyard to the memory of '' Gilbert Jackson, alias Kuerden.
Deceased 17 day of Oct., 1662, aet. 70. Ex sumpt : Alisi^e, ux : ej :"
" There are numberless offshoots from the old stock, descendants of younger sons
in early generations. It must not, therefore, be concluded that any individual bearing
this name was related, except in a very remote degree, to the family in possession of
"This is doubtless intended for Cowper, but Cowpe is a common name in
Cuerden,^and there are people so called in Leyland at this present date. Was not a
cowpe a primitive sledge used for agricultural purposes ?
" Probably of Cuerden, d. of Edm: Bushel! (cf. Pedigree, 1664).

"^ The eldest son of Willm. ffarington, Esq. (who died in 1610), His father dis-
inherited him on account of his spendthrift habits, and settled the estates upon
WilHam, the son of this Thomas. There is a portrait of this gentleman, dated 1593,
now at Worden Hall [formerly Shaw Hall], the present seat of the family. He was
Constable of Lancaster Castle and Steward of the Queen's lands in Lonsdale. His
wife (married 3 Aug., 1 581, at Beetham) was Mabel, one of the daughters and coh:
of George Benson, Esq., of Hugill, Westmoreland, and widow of John Preston, of
Holker. He had two sons besides William (the Royalist) and four daughters. He
is believed to have re-married some one of inferior position. Mr. Thomas ffarington
is entered on the Preston Guild Rolls for the years 1582, 1602, 1622.
2 This appears to be the mother of Mr. Thomas ffarington just noticed. She was
the daughter of Sir Thos: Talbot, of Bashall, and brought as her dower the lease of
Blackburn rectory estate, &c. It was her husband who was the first of the
ffaringtons to dwell at Worden. He also repurchased the manor of Leyland, which
had passed away, through the female line, to the Huddlestons. He obtained, per
Lawrence Dalton, Norroy King-at-Arms in 1560, a patent authorizing him to make
a change in the family crest, which was henceforth to be "A wivem tail nowed,
argent, collared gules, the chain reflexed, or." William ffarington, Esq., died before
his wife, on July 3, 1610, directing by his will that he should be buried "within the
Chappell erected in the Southe syde of the Parish Church of Leyland." Portraits
of this lady and gentleman are now in the collection at Worden Hall, formerly
Shawe Hall.

« This may be the Crook in Whittle, which was a well-known estate of the
Clayton family. If so, the child here baptized was probably the son of Thomas
Clayton, by his wife Ann, d. of Robert Blundell of Ince, Esq. He afterwards
became the "Merchant Thomas Clayton," of whom Dr. Kuerden speaks in his
Itinerary; and finally the founder of the family of "Clayton of Adlington." He
married Ann, d. of John Atherton, Esq. By the tablet in Standish Church he died
1721, aged 91 years. His elder brother was Robert Clayton of Fulwood, gent.
* This is probably the second son of Mr. Adam Mort, by his second wife. The
name occurs in the Preston Guild Roll of 1642. The Morts belonged to the neigh-
bourhood of Bolton, and held the estates of Dam House, Highfield Hall in Farnworth,
Smith Fold in Hulton, &c. The gentleman here mentioned was the third son of

Adam Mort, sen., of Bolton, and Jennet, d. and h. of Thomas Mort, of Dam House.
He became a burgess of Preston, and married firstl)^, Elizabeth, d. of Seth Bushell
of Preston, gent., by whom he had one son (Seth Mort, born 1624) and a daughter
Jennet. For his second wife he married EHzabeth, d. of Sir Thomas Tildesley, knt.,
by whom he had five sons and a daughter, all of whom were young children in 1642.
This alliance may perhaps explain the very prominent part taken by him on the side
of the King when most of his fellow-citizens inclined towards the Parliamentary side.
He was elected Mayor of Preston in Oct., 1642, but seems to have been too busy
mustering men for the King to be able or willing to attend to civic affairs. Upon
his refusal to repair to the town to take the necessary oaths the Council declared him
"contumacious," and imposed a fine of 100 marks to be forthwith levied on his goods.
Mr. Mort seems to have assumed the position of Mayor while the King's party was
in temporary ascendancy. The Parliamentary forces, however, succeeded in carrying
the town by assault in February, 1642-3, and in gallantly opposing their entrance
Mr. Mort was slain. In a letter addressed by the Rev. John Tilsley, pastor of Dean
(who was present on this occasion), to "an eminent Divine in London," we find him
saying : " And as if men must have been singled out for slaughter we could scarce
havepickedout better, the Major {i.e. Mayor] . . . that was resolute to desperateness
in this cause, that had oftentimes been heard sweare He would fire the town ere he

{Pemuortham Priory, page Ixv.), but another Margareta is mentioned as having been
baptized 1 1 Aug., 1633, and entered in the Penwortham Register. Perhaps this
infant died, and another received the same name.

2 This appears to be James Anderton, the son of Hugh Anderton, who purchased
the different portions of the Lejxesters, Orrells, and Huddlestons (inheritors as
co-heirs of John Clayton, Esq.), and thus became sole lord of Clayton. With his
cousin James Anderton, of Lostock, this James was farmer of the goods of outlaws
and receiver of the Duchy for sundry Ports. He was an active propagandist for
Rome. His son Hugh, born 1579, was known in religion as Father Henry Courtnay.
He entered himself and his sons at the Preston Guilds of 1582- 1622.
3 Is not this a curious rendering of " Balderstone," which is derived from the

1 This entry should be noted, for nearly all the pedigrees are incorrect with
respect to the marriages of the children of Wm. ffarington (the Royalist). This lady,
in particular, is frequently called Ann. Richard Clayton, Esq., of New Crooke in
Whittle, was born c. 1617, for he was sworn at Preston as a burgess on Oct. 5, 1638.
He actively assisted his mother-in-law (when the Parliamentary colonels sequestered
the Worden estates, &c.) by purchasing for her some ;^8o worth of "goods." In
1643-4, John Fleetwood, Esq., of Penwortham, requests his "loving brother Mr.
Richard Clayton" to be one of the overseers of his will. He was buried at Leyland,
June 7th, 1659. Having but one child (Margaret), who died an infant, the Crooke
estate passed to the Leycesters, of Toft, through his sister, Dorothy Clayton, who
had married George Leycester. Mabel Clayton, the wife, afterwards married for
her second husband Sir Peter Brooke, of Mere, co. Chester, who had been twice
previously married.
"^ A name now generally spelt Goulding, but found in endless variety.
2 See stone slab in Leyland churchyard, where it says "John Covper, of Curden,
aged 62, Buried the twentieth day of June, 1639." The word " buried" has probably
been put on the stone instead of "died."

Anderton belonging to the Clayton branch of this family, it is difficult to identify
them. One Matthew is said to have been killed at Sheriff Hutton about this time.
If so, then the one buried on April 29 would be either the brother of Father Hugh
Anderton, S.J., or a nephew^ and son of the James Anderton who took such an
active part in the Civil War.

therefore allow of him the said Thomas Walker to be Register
for the said parish & have according to the terme of the said
Act administered the oath of a Register to him and likewise
delivered into the hands of the said Thomas Walker the old
Register Book (belonging to the said parish) bearing date from
the 27th of Aprill 1538 to the i^^ of Aprill 1597. In testimony
whereof I have hereunder written my hand the 22^^ day of Sep-
tember 1653. (Signed) iEDWARDE ROBINSONN.

[It is to be noted that the first Register commenced on the
27th Aprill, 1538. This was just after the suppression of the
Monasteries (1536) and the collapse of the Pilgrimage of Grace
(1537). One of the grievances of the multitude engaged in that
insurrection was the order for compulsory registration. It was
thought that a tax was to be laid upon the administration of
the sacraments. No trace of this " old Register Book " is to be
found later than in the certificate (iii.) dated 1656.]

Whereas y^ above said Thomas Walker being deceased
[cf. Dec. 7, 1655] and y^ parish of Leyland being void of a
Register y^ Inhabitants of y^ said prish or y^ Major part of yem
have att a Gen'all meeting by a Certificate under y^re hands
ellected and chosen M'^ William Rothwell yeir minister to bee

fitt to conferr itt upon y^ Schoole[master]. These are therefore
to certifie all whom itt may concerne that y^ said M"" Rothwell
comeing before mee one of y^ Justices of peace for y^ said

allowed of him to be Register for y^ said prish and have tendered

' Mr. Justice Robinson, who here exercises one of the duties of his office, was a
somewhat pron:iinent mover in the affairs of Leyland Hundred during the Common-
wealth period. The house which he names in Certificates ii. and iii. as his residence,
is situated in Euxton, a township of Leyland Parish. A passing view of this old
timbered mansion may be obtained from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, for
it lies within a few hundred yards of Euxton Junction, on the right going north. It
is now called Higher Buckshaw, to distinguish it from a smaller and less important
24 Leyland Registers.
[Mr. Rothwell seems to have kept in favour with his
parishioners thus far, but, according to the story given in
Walker's Sufferings of the Clergy, he had to endure much
persecution and hardship between this date and that of the
Restoration. Vide List of Vicars, given in the Introduction.]

Whereas M^" Rothwell the late Register being displaced and
y^ said parishioners of Leyland meeteing att the prish Church of
Leyland upon the first day of May 1656 the Major part then
p^sent did ellecte and choose Robert Abbott of Leyland aboue-
said yeoman to bee for the tyme p^sent Register for the said
prish and to execute that office till the parish with y^ aprobacon
of the next Justice of peace should thinke fitt to conferr y^ said
office upon some other pson. Theese are therefore to certifie
all whom itt may concerne that y^ said Robert Abbott comeing
farm called Lower Buckshaw, which is less than a quarter of a mile distant. Until
recently it was the property of T. Towneley Parker, Esq., of Cuerden Hall, but he
has transferred it to Colonel T. R. Crosse, of Shaw Hill, to whom it now belongs.
There is a good illustration of this specimen of domestic architecture in the Chetham
Society's Volume (Ixii. ), from which book also may be obtained information con-
cerning the Robinson family and Mr. Justice Robinson in particular. The plate will
be found on the page facing the title and at the conclusion of the introductory chapter.
In Dugdale's Visitation of 1664-5 (Chetham Society vol.) Mr. Robinson entered
a pedigree of four generations, but no coat of arms was allowed him. His parents
were Mr. Richard Robinson, buried at Leyland, 5th March, 1657-8, and Margaret,
daughter of Mr. Adam Holland, of Newton, near Manchester. He was born about
the year 1610, and married Helen, daughter of John Brown, of Scale Yate in the
Fylde. At the outbreak of the Civil War he took the Parliamentary side and served
under Colonel Assheton, of Middleton, Colonel Shuttleworth, and Colonel Rigby.
In May, 1644, he is described as Major Edward Robinson, and there is strong
reason to believe, as Mr. Beamont has pointed out, that he was the author of the
anonymous "Discourse of the Warr in Lancashire." At the restoration he appears
to have made his peace with the authorities, although he was at first arrested. His
wife was buried at Leyland on November 23rd, 1670, and he himself on January 7th,
1 680- 1. He had two sons and five daughters, whose names are entered in the 1665
pedigree.

[This, and the two other similar certificates of appointment,
have been written and signed by Mr. Justice Robinson.]
[N.B. — The use of the word "Register" as applied to a
person has a strange appearance to eyes accustomed to the form
*' Registrar." The former is, however, strictly correct, while the
latter is merely a maimed Latin word, which has been adopted
through ignorance, or careless inattention to the fact that it was
the abbreviation of Registrarius.]

James, son of William Rothwell, vicar, baptized at Leyland,
May the 8*, 1653, P me. ^^j,^^,^^, Rothwell,
vicar.
[N.B. — These entries in the handwriting of Vicar Rothwell
are similar, in general appearance and in the shape of the letters,
to the writing with which the register commences. Hence we
may infer (notwithstanding the appointment of Thomas Walker
to be Register) that the entries of Births and Burials from the
commencement down to ffebruary, 1655-6 are in Vicar Rothwell's
handwriting, especially as the same style is discernible from
August, 1663, to the date of Rothwell's death. The intervening
period is one of bad writing and worse spelling. In comparing
also the Briefs for 1653 and 167 1, which are signed "by mee
William Rothwell," the foregoing supposition becomes even
more probable.]
William, son of John Crichlow,of Claiton, baptised Aprill pt, 1644.
William, son of James Crichlow, of Exton, baptised June 24, 1653.
[These two entries I have placed here because they are
earlier than the date at which the existing Register commences.
They will both be found again entered among the Baptisms in
1655.]

' About half a mile due south of Leyland Church there is a fine old farmhouse,
apparently at one time of some importance, which bears on the 6in. Ordnance Map
the name of Atherton Hall. It is now the property of Miss ffarrington. On the
headstone of the principal entrance there will be found deeply cut J. A. 1635. The
Athertons, of Atherton, in Leigh parish, made several local alliances with the
Claytons, ffarringtons, &c. A branch of the Atherton family occupied a distinguished
position in the borough of Preston. There was also a yeoman family of this name
resident in the neighbourhood. A certain John Atherton occurs in the list of those
wearing the "cloath" of Sheriff ffarington in 1636.

1 The year is noted in the original after each entry, but is here omitted for the
sake of convenience. The extremely small number of Baptismal entries in comparison
with the number of Burials for the same year (62) leads us to infer that many have
been left unrecorded. There were no transcripts made for diocesan purposes during
this disturbed period.
- This curious name should be noticed. It is possible that the illiterate scribe
intended to write Leoninus, or even Leonard !
3 Usually spelled Roe-croft or Roocroft. A name well known at the present day
m the same township.
■* Probably derived from the township of Hole or Hool, which was formerly in
Croston parish, but made parochial in 1641.

Adam Bushell, the sonne of Mr. Seth Bushell,^ of
Euexton, baptised March25
^ Mr. Seth Bushell, here mentioned, was the son of Adam Bushell and Alice, his
wife, daughter of John Loggan, of Garstang (co. Lane). He married, 1st, Mary, d.
of Mr. Roger fFarrington, of Leyland (buried at Leyland, Dec. 26, 1656), and
2ndly, Mary, d. of Mr. Wm. Stanfield, of Euxton (married at Preston, 23 July, 1657),
by whom he had four sons and three daughters. A third wife survived him, and, as
Mistress Elizabeth Bushell, was buried at Preston, 16 July, 1697. Her will was
proved at Richmond. Adam, the son whose baptism is here recorded, was the
second child and eldest son. He was buried at Preston, 15 June, 1696. William,
the next son, was born at Spout House in Euxton, 5 March, 1661, but no entry of
baptism appears in this Register. This William became curate of Goosnargh and
rector of Heysham, and was buried at Goosnargh, 30 April, 1735. By his wife,
Margaret, d. of William Werden, gent., of Preston (who presented him to the rectory
of Heysham), he became the father of a son, William Bushell, M.D., the munificent
founder of Goosnargh Hospital. It is frequently stated that this benefactor lies
interred in Leyland churchyard, but that is not the case. There is a stone placed
over the portion of ground, supposed to appertain to Spout House, which has the
inscription, "Spout House, Euxton, Sacred to the memory of William Bushell,
Esquire, Founder of Goosnargh Hospital. " At the lower part of the slab are the names
of Richard Slater, William Porter, Richard Latham, Roger Charnock, trustees, by whom
the stone was in all probability placed there to connect the benefactor with the parish of
Leyland. The doctor died about loth June, 1735, ^"^^ is buried at Goosnargh.
Mr. Seth Bushell, the father of the child named in the text and the grandfather of
the benefactor, was born in 1621, and in 1639 became a commoner at S. Mary's
Hall, Oxford. When the civil war turned Oxford into a garrison Mr. Bushell retired
to Lancashire. The name Seath Bushell occurs in the list of schoolmasters of
Longton Free School in a return furnished by William Banester in 1673, and as
Bushell was his immediate predecessor the dates allow of an identification. In the
Church Surveys of i6jo (vol. i.. Record Soc. Publications, p. loi), we find the fol-
lowing reference to him: •* M' Seath Bushell is the p'sent Incumbent there [Euxton]
and is a godly p'chinge minister and conformable to the p'sent goverm* and came
into the said place by an order from the Committee of plundered ministers, and hath
ffor his sallery forty pounds p' ann' yssueinge out of the sequestracons of the [great
tythes]." In 1654 Mr. Bushell returned to Oxford and graduated B.A. and M.A.,
at which time he appears to have been minister, probably curate, of Whitby or
Whitley in Yorkshire. On June 10, 1665, he became B.D., and on 27 June, 1672,
he proceeded to the degree of D.D. The exact date when Seth Bushell became
vicar of Preston has not yet been definitely ascertained, but there is an entry in the
Preston Register of the baptism of "Alice, daughter of Seth Bushell, Clerk, Vicar of
Preston," on Dec. 18, 1664. (See Fishwick's History of Goosuargh^ from which
much of the information contained in this note is derived.) Upon his resignation of
the vicarage of Preston he was instituted vicar of Lancaster, on June 19th, 1682,
upon the presentation of George Toulson. On the north wall of Lancaster Parish

Church is a memorial brass to " Seth Bushell, S.T.P., who died 1684, aged 63"
(i.e.; before June 17th, 1684, the date of the next institution). On the Preston Guild
Roll for 1682 we find the name of " Seth Bushell, Theologize Professor," together
with four sons, Adam, William, Seth, and Samuel. The first of these sons is the
one whose baptism is recorded in the text.

^ It seems probable that this and the following dates should be 1 66 1, unless,
indeed, the entries are all misplaced, and should be 1662.
^ The last figure of the year has been altered in each of these fifteen entries, which
are printed in full here, exactly as in the Register. Originally 1662, it now appears
as 1661. The person making the entries from the Clerk's book, or from loose papers,
into the parchment Register, seems to have neglected to do so until a large number
had accumulated. This may perhaps account for the confusion of dates. It will
be noticed that the baptism of "John, son of Oliver Cross, Ap. 29, 1661" (and some
others), are repeated. The order as here printed is exactly that of the Register.

Probably the irregularities of the Register at this period have caused this baptism to
be overlooked. The William ffarrington here mentioned was the son of Henry
ffarrington and Susanna, daughter of Digory Weare, D.D. [N.B. In Foster's Lane.
P€digrees and in Baines (edit. Croston) this marriage is stated to have taken place in
1685; but as both give 1656 for the date of the eldest son's birth, this must be an
error for 1655.] ^Vhy the father is here described as "of Worden" is not very
evident. William ffarrington, Esq., sen. (the proposed Knight of the Oak), was
living until after Feb., 1672, and so would properly be "of W^orden" at this date.

1 The part of Leyland township adjoining Croston parish.
"^ Walton-le-Dale, which adjoins Cuerden township.
^ Mr. William Crosse here mentioned was the eldest son of John Cross, of Over
Darwen, gent., and Millicent, his wife, daughter of Thomas Astley, of Stakes, gent.
His first wife was a Mistress Ann Rogers, widow, whose maiden name was Bold.
She was sister to Grace Bold, of Carnarvon, a resident for many years at Leyland
Hall, first with Lady Tildesley, who rented the estate, and afterwards with Robert
Charnock, gentleman, the owner thereof. The marriage of Mr. William Crosse and
Ann Rogers took place at Leyland, Aug. 28, 1666. The child whose baptism is here
recorded was probably named after her mother's sister. A full account of the great law
suit concerning Leyland Hall, in which Mr. Cross and others, the legatees under the
will of Grace Bold, were engaged, will be found later on (see Burials, 1670). It was
this gentleman who in the year 1687 took the leading part in the contest with the Vicar
of Blackburn (Price) for the possession of St. James' Chapel, Over Dawen. He was
buried at Blackburn, March 8, 1697-8. (Cf. Abram's History of Blackburn.)

1 Mr. John Woodcock was of Woodcock Plall (or Crowtrees as it was called by
Dr. Keurden), where his family had been seated for many generations. x\ccording
to the learned antiquary just quoted, the property in Cuerden had been in the
possession of the Woodcocks for "400 or 500 years." The house and land (which
lie upon the left hand of the high road between Leyland and Preston) are now owned
by T. T. Townley Parker, Esq., of Cuerden Hall. Mr. John Woodcock, here
named, was a burgess at the Preston Guilds of 1682, 1702, and 1722. For an
account of this family see Abrani's History of Blackbtirn, pp. 733-4. Also under
*' Seth Woodcock," in the list of Vicars of Leyland in the Introduction.

- The Sumner family must have been of some consequence, or at least of con-
siderable wealth at this period, for, while William ffarington, of Worden, Esq.
(the High Sheriff of 1636), and his son, Mr. William ffarington, were fined for
"delinquency," the sums respectively of ^^536 and £11^. 13s. 4d., the Sumners
(senior and junior) were fined ;^8o5. Among those who wore the *' Sheriffs Cloth "
in 1636, we find the names of William Somner de Worden [? Steward], William
Sumner de Lost: sen., and William Sumner de Lost: jun. These are not included
among the "Gentlemen," but probably rank as yeomen or tenant-farmers. In 1622,
W™ Sumner (son of John Sumner "deRadom") " servus Will?^ ffarington Ar " is
entered as a foreign burgess at the Preston Guild. In the same year (1622) " Will'm's
Sumpner de Lostocke " is sworn and pays a fine of xl. s. upon which his name,
together with those of his sons, William and Christopher, are entered.
3 Vicar of Leyland from 1677 to 1684. See List of Vicars,
* See postea, Baptisms, 1682.
* "Joh'es ffarnworth de Euxton, Gen:" was sworn as a foreign burgess at the
Preston Guild of 1662. He appears among the foreign burgesses in 1682 as "Joh'es
ffarnworth de Runshaw Gen:" with his sons Edward, John, and Ralph. See also

^ William ffarington, Esq., son of Mr. George ffarington and his wife Elizabeth (nee
Whitmore), succeeded to the Worden estates, in 17 15, upon the death of his cousin
William (son of Henry ffarington, Esq., "of Worden," Preston Guild Roll, 1682),
who had held the headship of the family from March, 169 1-2. He married Elizabeth,
daughter and sole heir of Dr. James Rufiine, of Boulogne, a Huguenot refugee, and
became the father of three sons and three daughters. His name is entered as a
foreign burgess at Preston Guild in 1682 and 1702.
"^ This lady was buried at Poulton-le-Fylde, November 24, 1698. The father,
Mr. Richard ffleetwood, was son and heir of Francis ffleetwood (third son of Sir Paul,
of the Rossall line). He married Margaret, d. and h. of Edward ffleetwood, Esq.,
of Leyland, who was a cadet of the Penwortham family, and settled in Leyland
(probably) on account of his marriage with Margaret ffarington. There is an old
house near to the Leyland Station which still bears the name of Fleetwood Hall.
3 A farm just over the Shawe-brook, within a short distance of Shawe-hall (now
Worden).

by whom he became the father of two sons and two daughters. The eldest son,
Henry, who was Guild Mayor of Preston in 1742, and Alan, who married a daughter
of Tyrer, of Liverpool, both died without issue. His eldest daughter, Eliza-
beth, married Col. Gardiner, of Uttoxeter, co. Stafford, and became the mother of

^ A member of this family, "Mistress Ann ffarn worth, of Euxton," was married
at Leyland, on 2 Aug., 1670, to Mr. Thos. Rishton, of Preston. Again, in 1672,
July 2, was buried Mr. Raphe ffarn worth, of Euxton. A Mr. John ffarn worth
appears as one of the four gentlemen appointed by Commission from the Exchequer
Court to take the depositions (at Leyland) of witnesses summoned in the Leyland
Hall case (Attorney-General v. William Cross, gent., and Gaynor Jones, widow),
April 6, 1687. From an entry of a burial in 1692, the ffarnworths (or one of them,
Edward) appear to have been resident at Runshaw Hall, in Euxton. Mary, d. of
Edw: ffarnworth, of Runshaw, gent., is mentioned in the Patten pedigree as the
wife of William Patten (born 1700), who settled in London. Probably this Edward
was the son of John named above. In 17 15 Edwd. ffarnworth, of Euxton, registered
his estate as a Roman Catholic. In the pedigree of Crosse, of Shawe Hill, Dorathy
Crosse was married to Edward ffarnworth, and the burial of Dorathy ffarnworth is
entered at Leyland on Feb. 18, 1720.

[There is at this point an entire change in the style of hand-
writing. This continues only for the next nine entries, but is
observable again in May, 1678, when it goes on for a period of
nine months, with one or two exceptional entries. There were
evidently two persons registering the baptisms, &c., during the
next vicariate, as though there were a curate-in-charge and a
vicar occasionally in residence. From an old MS. now in the
hands of the Rev. T. R. Baldwin, we learn that the name of the
curate in Vicar Rishton's time was Edmund Thornley, and that
he was living as late as 1720. Vicar Rishton was certainly
resident at Bury at the time of his death, and thus the modern
running hand which commences with the next entry may be his.
There is a great similarity, however, between this writing and
that which occurs during the vicariate of George Walmesley,
who was certainly resident during the whole period of his incum-
bency. The conclusion, therefore, is not very definite.]

^ Sir Charles Hoghton (4th baronet) was Knight of the Shire for co. Lancaster in
the Parhaments of 1679-1681, 1681, and 1688-9. He died at Hoghton Tower, June
10, 1 7 10, aged 66 years, and was buried at Walton. Lady Hoghton was the eldest
daughter of John Skeffington, Viscount Massarene. This marriage took place in 1676
and the lady died on the 30th of April, 1732. Some of the children of this family
may be conveniently noticed here. On March 19th, 1684-5, was baptised Mary,
who died at Chester, Sep. 19, 1710, unmarried. On July 23, 1686, Cordelia, who
became the wife of Robert Davie, of York. On Oct. 7, 1687, Skeffington, who died
unmarried, Feb. 8, 1768, and was buried at Walton, Feb. nth. On Jan. 29, 1688-9,
Hannah, who (apparently) married Samuel Crook, gent., of Crook in Whittle.
N.B. This last entry has hitherto been mistaken for " Hugh." The word, however,
is perfectly distinct. Others occur in later years.

' The river Lostock rises in the Withnell hills to the extreme east of the parish
of Leyland, flowing northward through Heapey and Whittle as far as Bamber Bridge,
when it turns almost due west but very soon alters its course in a southerly direction
and. ultimately joins the Yarrow in Croston parish. The Lostock thus forms the
boundary of Leyland parish (roughly speaking) on the east, north, and west. Thus,
farms said to be "by the Lostock" may be on any side of Leyland but the southern.
In this particular instance it would be difficult to say which is intended out of three
families of the same name dwelling by the Lostock, in Cuerden, in Leyland, or in
Ulneswalton.

' That is Leyland Lane, which runs nearly north and south through the town-
ship, from Farington to Eccleston, and parallel to the River Lostock. There is a
farmhouse on the west side of the lane which is still called "Atherton's."
* The third son of Richard Fleetwood, Esq. (who was the son of Francis Fleet-
wood, of Hackinsall, and grandson of Sir Paul Fleetwood, of Rossall), by his wife
Margaret (d. and h. of Edward Fleetwood, of Leyland, and granddaughter of
Edward Fleetwood, of Penwortham, who died v. p. in 1615). The marriage of the
parents took place at Leyland, June 16, 1674. Paul Fleetwood, whose baptism is
here recorded, lived at Rossall until his father's death in 1709, when he removed to
Wharles. He was buried at Kirkham in 1727. For a full account of this family,
see Fishwick's History of Poulton-le-Fylde.

^ There are at present two farmhouses of some importance which bear this name.
Lower Farington Hall occupies the site of the mansion of Sir Henry fifarington, who
was Squire of the Bodyguard to Henry VH,, and Knight of the Bodyguard to
Henry VHI. During many years Sir Henry was Steward of the King's Manor of
Penwortham, and when the dissolution of the monasteries was resolved upon he was
chosen as one of the commissioners. Having settled his Farington estates and the
lordship of the Manor of Leyland upon the isszie of his son William, these both
descended through females to the Huddlestons, of Sawston, co. Cambridge, and so
became alienated from the original proprietors. Sir Henry purchased \Yerden from
the Andertons, and thus provided an estate for the son of his second marriage and
his descendants. This son, William ffarington, Esq., who afterwards became
Comptroller to Edward, Earl of Derby, was the first of the ffaringtons of Werden,
and to him was granted, by Norroy, a change in the family crest and motto. The
Huddleston family disposed of the lordship of the Manor of Leyland to the aforesaid
William ffarington, Esq., and later on the estates passed from them into the possession
of various persons. Several sons of the Huddleston family became notable members
of various religious orders. In particular may be mentioned Richard, youngest son
of Andrew Huddleston, of Farington Hall, liducated at Rheims, and at Rome he
became a Benedictine monk, and was sent to England to win over as many as possible
of the Lancashire and Yorkshire gentry to the Roman obedience. He is said to have
met with remarkable success, for the Prestons, Andertons, Downes, Traffords, and
Sherbournes, of the former county, and the Watertons, Middletons, and Trapps, of
the latter, are thought to have been induced by his persuasions to withdraw themselves
from the Established Church. When Charles IL was in hiding at Moseley, in
Staffordshire, he occupied himself with the perusal of the books left in his chamber.
Among them was one by Father Richard Huddleston, upon the Roman Controversy,
which the King pronounced to be conclusive, and not to be disproved. This book
was the property of another member of the Huddleston family, John (nephew of the
aforesaid Richard), who was likewise a Benedictine, and who is well known as the
confessor procured by the Duke of York for his brother the King (Charles H.) when
death was approaching. (See Lingard, vol. x., p. 109; Macaulay, vol. i,, pp.
434-436.) Others of the name became members of the Jesuit order and held
important offices therein. A younger branch of the family was settled at Hutton-
John, in Cumberland. Lower Farington Hall is now the property of the heirs of the
late George Hargreaves, Esq., of Leyland. It retains scarcely anything to testify
of its former dignity except a portion of the moat, which is replenished by the River
Lostock. The situation of this Hall is within a short distance of the boundary
between the parish of Penwortham (which includes Farington township) and the
parish of Leyland, and near to the Lostock in its southward course. Higher
Farington Hall is less than half a mile to the northward of the Hall just described.
Some features of the house and outbuildings denote that it has been in the hands of
persons of substance. This may be the Little Farington, where resided a younger
branch of the family of that name, which line ended with females in the seventeenth
century.

*Mr. William Shurd, of Clayton Hall, was perhaps of the family of Sherd, of
Disley, co. Chester, as the name is an uncommon one. There is a pedigree of this
family in Mr. Earwaker's £as^ Cheshire, and it is possible that the last Mr. William
Sherd there mentioned had left Disley and come to Clayton Hall.
^ Clayton Hall, in the township ot Clayton -le-Woods, has still many features of
interest to tell of its former importance. The present building is said to be of
Elizabethan date, but, if so, it must have replaced an earlier mansion. The ancient
family of Clayton, of Clayton, closed (in the direct male line) with John Clayton, Esq.,
who married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Richard Langton (of Walton), the Baron of
Newton. He died in 1541, leaving two co-heiresses, one of whom married William,
the eldest son of Sir Henry ffarrington (the last),' of ffarington. There appears to
have been a considerable amount of litigation respecting this estate at the end of the
sixteenth century. Finally, a branch of the Anderton family settled here and retained
the ownership down to the end of the seventeenth century, when the estate passed
into the hands of Lord Molineux. The present proprietor is the Earl of Lathom.

cousin, William ffarington, Esq., in the possession of the Worden estates, in 1715),
and of his wife, Elizabeth, d. of Dr. James Rufine, of Boulogne, a Huguenot refugee.
This George ffarington afterwards married Margaret, daughter and sole heiress of
John Bradshaw, of Pennington, Esq., and thus enjoyed both the Worden and the
Pennington estates. He died 9th May, 1742, in the forty-sixth year of his age; and
his wife on 9th March, 1771, aged 69 years. There are portraits of both at Worden
Hall. There is a very handsome marble monument in the ffarington chapel, within
Leyland Church, to the memory of Mr. George Farington, which was erected at the
expense of Margaret, his widow, " as a testimony of her conjugal love and affection."
The names of their ten children are given, of whom two died young. The widow's
name was added after her death.

> Transcript signed by the Vicar and three of the Churchwardens. The writing
is clear, but the parchment is torn in places.
'^ The P. here put before the name probably stands for Papist. The expression,
"said to be christened," may indicate such a baptism, the entry being made that a
public and officially recognised certificate might hereafter be obtainable. In some
instances the child may have been privately baptised by some other person than the
parish clergyman, and the entry indicates the date of the public reception into the
Church.

^ There has always been a close historical connection between Leyland and North
Meols (the northern part of modern Southport). The tithes of both were granted
by Warin Bussel, Baron of Penwortham, about 1086, to the Abbey of Evesham, in
"Worcestershire. This grant was confirmed and added to by his descendants. The
ffleetwoods, of Penwortham, became patrons of both livings.
"- Brother to George ffarington, of Worden, Esq., who married Margaret Brad-
shaw. This gentleman took holy orders, and in 1734 became Vicar of Leigh (Lane);
after which he was appointed Rector of Warrington (in 1767), but died in the same
year. He married Hester, daughter and coheir of ... . Gilbody, of Manchester.
From this marriage descend the ffaringtons of Wood Vale (Isle of Wight) and the
ffaringtons of Wigan.

* Vicar Armetriding (who died in 1719) bequeathed to this nephew, John, the
sum of ;^i5o, which was to be increased by the portions of two sisters, Alice and
Ann, in case of their early death. John Armetriding received his education at
(? Leyland Grammar School, and afterwards at) Kirkham, under Zachary Taylor,
M.A., who was head master of the grammar school of that place. On May I, 1727,
John Armetriding was admitted a sizar of Trinity College, Cambridge, and in due
course graduated B.A. (1730). His title for ordination seems to have been North
Meols, where he was curate for some years. He married at Leyland Church (1736),
Jane, d. of Edward Woodcock, of Euxton, yeoman. From 1767 to the date of his
death in 1791 he was perpetual curate of Bispham in the Fylde.

^ Transcript on parchment. Closely written. Writing fair. Signed as before.
* Rixton with Glazebrook, in Warrington parish.
"^ This is the earliest recorded instance of the administration of holy baptism in
the Chapel-of-Ease at Heapey. There was in existence before 1554 (perhaps only as
an oratory) a certain building known as Hepay Chapel, which received notice from
the Church Commissioners of Edward VI., and of which they made report. In the
Cromwellian Survey of 1650, Hepay was reported as fit to be made parochial. The
chapelry became a separate parish under the Blandford Act about 1847.

\End of Baptisms in earliest extant Register^
Collections by King's Briefs. 119
[Collections by King's Briefs.
These sixteen entries of Collections made in Leyland Parish
fill exactly one page in the original Register. The dates of
the entries show that the page, having been selected for the
purpose when the book was commenced, was thus used down to
the end of the period covered by the baptismal and other entries
contained in the volume. There are no other indications of
Collections having been made in the parish under similar cir-
cumstances, either in the first or any subsequent volume of the
Leyland Registers. For the sake of convenience, and to prevent
a break in the sequence of baptismal entries these " Collections"
have been removed to their present position from the place
where they occur in the Register, viz., between the Baptisms for
the year 1689 and those for 1690.
King's Briefs were letters patent granted by the Sovereign,
by which permission and authority were given for the solicita-
tion of alms in all parishes and hamlets of the kingdom on behalf
of some specified charity. These letters were employed for
objects of private, semi-public, or public interest. Calamities
arising from fire, flood, or earthquake; the sad effects of war,
piracy, or religious persecution ; the foundation or sustainment
of hospitals; the building, rebuilding, or repair of churches —
these were all met by the same method, viz., the issue of a brief
or royal letter addressed to the bishops, clergy, and church-
wardens of parishes, to the magistrates, mayors, and other civil
officers. The special circumstances calling for sympathy and
assistance were related in the brief, which was read from the
pulpit in the churches. During the reign of Charles I., the issue
of these briefs settled into a regular system, which gradually
became intolerable because of the abuses which attended it.
The Cromwellian Government endeavoured to regulate the busi-
ness and reform the abuses; but in 1705 an Act of Parliament
became necessary to check the "farming" which had become the
customary use. In 1828 the Act, to which reference has just
been made, was repealed and the system brought to an end.
For a time royal letters were issued in recommendation of the
objects of the three great church societies, the S.P.C.K., the
S.P.G., and the Church Building Society (which had received
incorporation in 1828), but this practice was finally allowed to
fall into abeyance in the year 1853.]

On the 28th of April, 1653, "a fearful and most violent fire broke out almost at
the lower end of the town, which in the space of four hours burnt and destroyed
. . . one of the churches, the market house, and 224 [dwelling] houses." Thus does-
the original Brief describe the calamity which overtook this thriving town, hitherto
one of the most important centres of the woollen-cloth manufacture in the Kingdom.
Application was speedily made for a Brief to authorize collections throughout the
country on behalf of the distressed inhabitants. This being the first occasion of the
kind since the accession of the Cromwellian party to power, great efforts were made
122 Ley land Registers.
to reform the whole system of Briefs. A committee was appointed which sat at
Sahers' Hall, to undertake the management and ordering of this appeal. Regula-
tions were issued to ensure the proper and systematic distribution of the documents,
and for their return endorsed with the amounts collected under their authority.
From the office of their origin consignments were made to the High Sheriffs, who,
in turn, passed on a sufficient supply to the Chief Constables of hundreds, &c., who
were required to furnish the ministers (and churchwardens) of parishes with single
copies._ On the Lord's Day next after the receipt of the document notice was to be
given in church of the sad distressed condition [of the town of Marlborough], the
better to prepare the people for the collection of the following week. A special
requirement which deserves particular attention was that the amount collected should
be registered in the books of each parish. Hence the entry -which ive are now
considering.
Instead of the customary term "Kings Brief" (which was inapplicable to the
changed circumstances of the period) the style and title of the document authorizing
these collections was merely "An Order in Council.'"' Those who maybe specially
interested in this subject will find the "Order in Council" printed at length, together
with much additional information, on pp. 21-23 o^ Mr. C. Walford's little book
on "Briefs."
It is said that towards the loss sustained by the town Cromwell subscribed
;!^2,ooo, but 1^200 seems more likely to have been the true amount.
In Lewis' Topographical Dictionary there is a statement that in the year 1690 an
Act of Parliament was passed to prohibit the use of thatch as a covering for houses
and other buildings within this unfortunate borough, which had repeatedly suffered
by fire prior to that date.
(2) Towards the ransoming of English subjects from Turkish
slavery.
The contributions of the charitable had frequently to be asked for on behalf of the
many unfortunates who fell into the clutches of the pirates of the Mediterranean.
The Sultans of Algiers, Morocco, Tunis, &c., made a very considerable income by the
capture and detention of merchants and others for whose release large sums of money
were demanded as ransom. Private resources would seldom be able to meet these
demarids. Hence the appeal for public assistance.
Briefs for the aforenamed purpose appear to have been issued in 1670, 1680, 1692,
and 1700, in which years contributions were made from the parish of Clent (Salop),
w^here a book for the special entry of the amounts obtained by brief was kept by the
Vicar. Possibly the collection in Leyland was made under the authority of the brief
of 1670.
The original documents of 167 1-2-4 ^^^ now among the Records of the City oi
London.
(3) New Alresford in Hampshire.
This ancient corporate town, which is situated at the head of the river Itchen, lies
between Alton and Winchester, at a distance of about six miles from the latter place.
On May-day, 1690, it was destroyed by fire, previously to which event the town had
been so prosperous that no single individual stood in need of parochial relief. In
1 710 a similar calamity occurred.
Mention is made of this and of the following brief in the registers of Brixton,
Isle of Wight {vide Ch. Quarterly Revieiv, vol. iii., p. 377).
(4) Bungay, in Suffolk.
In the year 1688 a fire broke out in an uninhabited house, and the flames spread
with such rapidity that the whole town, with the exception of one small street, was
reduced to ashes, destroying property of the estimated value of ;^30,ooo, together
with the records of the Castle {vide Lewis' Topographical Dictionary).
In Suckling's History of Suffolk, i., p. 27, we are told that "a brief to collect
Collections by Briefs, 123
tnoney in church, as well as from door to door, in aid of the sufferers from the fire (of
March i, 1688) was granted on June 7, 1688. "' The original brief was engrossed on
parchment [vide Walford "Briefs," Appendix iii., p. 72).
(5) Relief of Irish Protestants (2nd time).
From the "Clent" book (referred to above) we learn that a first collection was
made for this object in 1689. This brief of 1690 was also presented in that parish.
The original documents connected with this brief and the one for Southwark are
preserved among the City of London Records.
(6) Sufferers in the parish of S. George, Southwark.
This appears to have been, like so many others, a "Fire Brief."
(7) Relief of French Protestants.
The very stringent measures adopted by Louis XIV. against the Protestants of his
Kingdom, culminating with the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, caused
multitudes of these persecuted people to seek for safety and liberty of conscience in
other lands. Great numbers of them succeeded in reaching England by means of the
trading vessels which plied to and from the French ports. The destitute and
distressed condition of these refugees aroused the sympathies of the English people,
and every effort was made to render them assistance. Pressure was brought to bear
upon the King (James IL), whose religious sentiment was unfavourable to the
refugees, to sanction the issue of a Brief in their behalf. The amount collected by
this means (2^67,713. 2s. 3d.) is said to be the largest ever produced by a Brief.
From the Clent collection book we learn that Briefs were issued with this same
object in 1681, 1688, and (on this occasion) in 1694.
(8) This was a "Fire Brief," but no particulars of the damage
done or of the part of the City of York affected by the fire
.are to hand.
(9) Nether-Haven and fidleton. The letters in the Register are
quite clear and unmistakeable, but the places which are
intended are, most probably, Nether avon and Fittleton,
which are two parishes in Wiltshire. These parishes lie in
immediate proximity to each other, but on opposite sides
of the river Avon, and at a distance of some 1 3 miles to
the north of Salisbury.
{10) Gillingham is a very extensive parish (being about 41 miles
in circumference) bordering on the counties of Somerset
and Wilts. The town is about 4 miles from Shaftesbury
and in the county of Dorset. The manufacture of linen
was for a considerable length of time a flourishing industry
in the place. The charitable appeal made under cover of
a brief seems to have been rendered necessary by a
destructive fire which occurred about this time.
(ii) Warwick.
In 1695, King William III. visited the town, of which, in the course of the
preceding year, more than one half was destroyed by a dreadful conflagration.
124 Ley land Registers.
occasioned by a spark from a lighted piece of wood, in the hands of a boy, commu-
nicating with the thatched roof of a dwelhng house; a great quantity of goods,
probably in a state of ignition, having been removed for safety into the Collegiate
Church of S. Mary, set fire to that venerable pile, which (with the exception of the
Chancel, the Beauchamp chapel and the Chapter-house) was destroyed. In a few
years after the town was rebuilt, in consequence of a national contribution amounting
to ,^110,000 of which ^l,CXX) was bestowed by Q. Anne [vide Lewis' Topographical
Dictionary).
(12) White Fryar Gate in Kingstowne-upon-Hull.
(13) Wrockingham in Salop. The word is thus written in the
Register with perfect distinctness. In all probability the
place intended is Wrockwardine, which is the only possible
identification if the county be correctly given. Moreover,
from the "Clent" book (mentioned in note 2) we learn that
there was a brief running at this date (1695-6) for the
parish of Wrockwardine (or Wreckardine as it is there
given), the occasion being (as usual) a fire.
[MARRIAGES AND BANNS OF MARRIAGE,
From i6s3 — /7/0.]
/iDarrtage Certificate,^ 1654.
These are to certifie all whom itt may concerne, that upon
due publication of an Intended marriage betwixt Arthur Ingilbie,
of Slabdale, in ye countie of Yorke, Esqr,and Margerie ffarrington,
Daughter of Wittm ffarrington, of Shaw hall, in ye countie of
LanC", Esqi", and ye said Arthur Ingilbie and Margerie ffarrington
comeing this day before mee and expressed their willingnes to
marriage, and contracted to each other according to ye forme
and words of ye Acte of parliam^ of the 24th of August, 1653.
And yat I, one of the Justices of peace for ye said countie of
Lane'", have, according to the tennor of ye said Acte, declared
them to bee husband and wife together, in ye presence of John
ffleetwood, Henry Bannister, and Alexander Nowell, Esq^'^-
Given under my hand yis second day of Januarie, 1654.^
(Signed) Edwarde Robinsonn.
^ This interesting and valuable certificate occurs on the upper portion of one of
the pages subsequently filled with entries of Christenings for the years 1681 and 1682.
It has been removed to this place as being here more convenient for reference, and
to avoid making a break in the entries of Births and Baptisms. Some one has subse-
quently crossed through the certificate from corner to corner and from side to side,
but these marks do not in any way prevent the words from being legible. Probably
Mr. Rothwell would do ihis on his return to the parish at the restoration. Perhaps
this would be considered as a record of an irregular proceeding, and made by a
person who had no ecclesiastical status, and so to be obliterated from a volume
intended to be a Register of Church Ceremonies duly performed. The handwriting
of this Marriage Certificate is the same as that of the certificates at the commence-
ment of the volume (see pp. 22, 23), and the signatures are identical, the resemblance
being extended even to the flourishes. Major Robinson must have Ijeen a "painful"
writer, and not a little proud of his position and acquirements.
' The bridegroom was Arthur Ingibie, of Lawkland [or Lakeland], co. York,
Esq. He entered as a foreign burgess at the Preston Guilds of 1662 and 1682.
The bride was one of the daughters of Wm. ffarrington, Esq. (the younger, the
proposed Knight of the Oak) and his wife, Katherine ffleetwood, of Penwortham.
Of the witnesses, John ffleetwood, Esq., of Penwortham, was the brother of Mrs.
ffarrington and the husband of Anne ffarrington, sister of Wm. ffarrington, Esq.,
mentioned above. Henry Banister (of Banke) was sister's son to Wm. ffarrington,
Esq., and married Dorothy Nowell, sister to the next witness. Alexander Nowell,
son of Roger Nowell, Esq., of Read, married Margaret ffarrington, sister to the
bride. He was entered on the Preston Guild Roll for 1662 as a foreign burgess.

[From this date the Marriages follow on consecutively to the
end of the period contained in the first volume of the original
Register. At the top of the page there has been a heading
(afterwards crossed through), which seems to indicate an inten-
tion to continue here the marriage entries for 1655 (oi' perhaps
1656, for it is difficult to say which, owing to obliterating marks).
The heading runs thus: — " Marriages 1655 (or 6) made according
to the Acte of Parliam^ of the 24 of August 1653." At the top
of the inner margin (at the very edge) occurs a figure 4, as though
connected with something now cut away, and also the letters
"rriages." 1664 is added, but in a different coloured ink. Are
not some sheets missing?]

1 This marriage entry is so written as to attract immediate attention on reference
to the page on which it occurs. The titles M"^- and M"^- are placed out of line, and
are rather larger than actually necessary. The words are certainly not later additions.
The natural conclusion is that the scribe felt himself to be making an important
record and (perhaps unconsciously) allowed his penmanship to mark the fact. If
this were really the case, to what individuals of social rank in the district could the
names belong ? The most obvious suggestion is that we have here the marriage by
which Astley Hall and the attendant property passed into the Brooke family. Richard,
second son of Sir Peter Brooke (afterwards of Mere), certainly did marry Margaret,
the heiress of the Charnocks, of Astley, but the date given for that event by Canon
Raines (in the notes, vol. ii. of the Stanley papers) is 1673. The Brookes resided at
Astley in 1682, and are entered on the Preston Guild roll of that year — the Knight,
Sir Peter (who married for his third wife one of the ffarrington family), his son Richard
(Armiger) with three grandsons, Peter, Robert, and Richard. From information
furnished by T. T. Townely Parker, Esq. (the direct descendant of the Charnock and
Brooke families and present owner of Astley Hall), we learn that the heiress, Margaret
Charnock, survived her first husband, who died in 1715, and was re-married to John
Gillibrand. She survived all her children, and did not die until 1744. If, then, we
are to reconcile the latter facts with a marriage taking place in February, 1665-6,
then the lady must have lived to the ripe age of 94 years at the least. If this identifica-
tion be given up, then who were the persons whose marriage is here recorded ?

^ Leigh, an ancient parish in West Derby hundred.
- An ancient parish which adjoins Leyland on the eastern side.
^ Perhaps for Brinscall, which lies in the Moore quarter, and now forms part of
the modern parish of Withnell. Or the woman may have been living with some
people named Brinscall or Brinscow.
* Ridd, a North Devon name, very uncommon in this district. It may possibly
be a contraction for Riding, which is the usual form. This contraction is very com-
mon in familiar intercourse at the present day : e.g.^ Webster is called Web., <S:c., «S:c.
* For Hesketh-bank, or Hesketh-with-Becconsali, a part of Croston parish (now
made parochial) which lies next to the sea, and near to the mouth of the River
Douglas. Hesketh is locally pronounced Heskett at the present time. It was
frequently spelled *' Heskayte" in ancient deeds, &c.

^ Ossok, probably Urswick-in-Furness, near Ulverston.
"^ A township in Croston parish, near to the sea. Made parochial 1821.
^ Mr. William Anderton, whose name occurs in the text, may have been the eldest
brother of Hugh Anderton who married Katharine Trappes, through whom the
present owners of Euxton Hall trace their descent. This William was aged twenty-
six years at the Visitation of 1664. No marriage is given in the family pedigree.
There is the possibility that a William Anderton of an earlier generation may be the
one whose marriage is here recorded. If so, it would be an uncle of the individual
just referred to. In that case there might be some connection between the two
couples whose names occur together in the Register. Dorothy Anderton, sister to
the last named William, married William Rishton, of Pontalgh, who was possibly
a relative of Mr. Thomas Rishton, of Preston.
* In Leyland parish. Worden Hall was for centuries the home of the ffarrington
family.

has no existence at the present time. It probably, even then, comprised only a few
cottages necessary for labourers, (S:c., employed on the land belonging to Werden Hall.
"^ Now known as Ormskirk.

^ Mr. Ralph Assheton was the eldest son of Richard Assheton, of Cuerdale, Esq.,
who, by the settlement of his relative Sir Ralph Assheton, of Whalley, became heir
of the estates at Downham and Whalley. Upon the death of Mr. Richard Assheton
in 1709 (O.S.), the gentleman whose marriage is here recorded succeeded to the
family estates. The lady (Mrs. Sarah Bruen) was the only daughter of Tilston Bruen,
of Bruen Stapleford, co. Chester, Esq., by his second wife. Her mother was Lucy,
one of the daughters of Sir Richard Hoghton, Bart., and his wife Sarah, daughter of
Philip, Earl of Chesterfield. Mr. Ralph Assheton and his wife had two sons, Ralph
and Richard, the latter of whom died without issue.

^An old table of benefactors to Heapy Chapel has the following: "The
Reverend Richard Croston, of Whittle-le- Woods, ;^20." Among the In-Burgesses
of Preston, at the Guild of 1682, we find " Richard Croston, Clericus." There are
a few entries in this Register which may refer to members of the same family, e.g. :
^'' vx. John Croston, buried 25 March, 1637;" " Elizabeth, daughter of John Croston,
of Chorley, (born) 1654;" "Alice, d. of Henry Croston, of Whittle, (born) July,
1656." There is a pedigree of the Croston family in Baines' Hist, of Lane. (edit.
Croston), p. 123.

' There is a pedigree of the Woodcock family compiled by Thos. Helsby, Esq.,
which may be found in Croston's edition of Baines' History of Lancashire, p. 186-7.
For a continuation of that pedigree, see Abram's History of Blackburn, page 733.
This gentleman was born in 1578, and his name occurs on the Preston Guild Rolls
for 1622 and 1642. The family resided at " Crowtrees," or Woodcock Hall as it is
now called.

1 In the parish of Kirkham in the Fylde.
* Canon Raines, in the introduction to the Stanley Papers (page xcii), says
that the third son of ^Yi^iam ffarrington, of Worden, Esquire (the old Comptroller),
lived to a great age, and was buried on January 15, 1655-6, and that his tombstone
still remains in Leyland churchyard, near the chancel door. If this be so, the entry
of January 12th may possibly refer to him, and record for us the date of his death.
Probably the title of Esquire was not added to the father's name because of the
changed condition of social affairs, and of the length of time which had elapsed
since his death. The ninety years of this ancient scion of a Royalist family may
have rendered him an object of small consideration in the eyes of the dominant party
who at this time had the registers in their charge. Probably, as a younger son and
an extravagant man, his worldly wealth was not great — hence the omission of all
titles of courtesy. Born in 1566, this William ffarrington was "brought up in the
Earl of Derby's household," and in 1597 was living in London. His father had
more than once to make arrangements for the payment of his debts, and experienced
with this, his youngest son, almost as much anxiety as with Thomas, the son and
heir. On his brother's resignation of the office of Steward of the Royal Manors of
Lonsdale, in 1599, William ffarrington, the younger, was nominated by the Queen
as the successor, and he also succeeded his brother as Castellan of Lancaster Castle.
There is a portrait of him in the Worden Collection, taken in 1628, when he was 62
years of age. A companion picture of a lady, taken in the same year and by the
same artist, may possibly represent his wife. As there is neither name nor coat
of arms on the picture, and no entry in the family pedigree of his marriage, it is
impossible to anrive at any conclusion as to whether the lady of the picture was his
wife — or whether he ever married at all. Attempts were made to negotiate a marriage
suitable to his rank, but these seem to have failed. The incised memorial stone may
still be seen in Leyland churchyard, but it is now in an imperfect condition, so that
very little information can be obtained from it. All that can be read is as follows :

» The name of ffrancis Woodcock, second son of John Woodcock, of Cuerden,
gen,, occurs in the Preston Guild Roll for 1622 and 1642. ffrancis Woodcock, of
Walton (and two sons, John and Thomas), will be found among the Out-Burgesses
in the Roll for 1662.

[From the commencement to this place the handwriting in
the original is clear and easy to read, every letter being dis-
tinctly formed. The same person who made the baptismal
entries for the period (1653 — ^^^b. 16, 1655-6) has evidently
recorded the Burials up to this date. The style and character
of the entries from ffeb. 19, 1655-6, onwards, is entirely different,
the writing being indifferent and the spelling variable and to a
great extent phonetic. On Sept. 21, 1663, the stiff courthand
of the early entries commences again, and continues until
Sept. 9, 1675. Vicar Rothwell was buried on Sept. 16, 1675.
Probably the earlier and later writing was his.]

^ For "Cockerham," of (Great) Hool, in Croston parish.
"^ William ffarrington, Esquire, whose burial is here recorded, was the son of
Thomas ffarrington and Mabel (Benson) his wife, and the grandson of the well-known
William ffarrington, who occupied the honourable position of Comptroller of the
Household to three (at least) of the princely Earls of Derby. The spendthrift habits
of Mr. Thomas ffarrington were of such long standing and so incorrigible that,
although he was the eldest son and heir, his father, the old Comptroller, felt it to be
necessary for the continued permanence and prestige of the family to make a special
settlement of the estates excluding him from the succession. By a deed executed in
1609, about a year before his death, an arrangement was concluded which constituted
William, the eldest son of Thomas, the inheritor of his grandfather's large property.
This younger William was the subject of the present note. Owing to the early death
of his mother and subsequent re-marriage of his father, he was brought up under his
grandfather's care. His after career shows much more plainly the influence and
example of the diligent man of business and worthy landowner than that of the
unmethodical, impulsive, and cesthetic man his father. The death of the Comptroller
happened when William ffarrington was about 17 years of age, so that he was at an
early period in life thrust into a prominent position in the county. He was within
a short time made a magistrate and a deput)'-lieutenant, and in 163 1 was called upon
to pay the knighthood composition. With the neighbouring gentry he attended the
successive Preston Guilds, and has his name recorded on the Rolls for 1602, 1622,
and 1642. He seems to have been married when a very young man to Margaret,
daughter of Henry Worral, of Wysall, co. Notts, Esq., and subsequently had three
sons and four daughters.
In 1636 William ffarrington was appointed to "undergoe" the office of Sheriff of
Lancashire. Designing to put a check, for the sake of his successors, to the almost
reckless extravagance which was beginning to be displayed in connection with the
official hospitalities expected of the Sheriff, he was unfortunate enough to bring upon
him the ill-will of the Judges of Assize. Various charges of neglect in matters of
etiquette and administration were made the excuse for the infliction of heavy fines.
Although some remission was, with difficulty, obtained, his year of office must have

been made a serious drain upon his resources. Like other gentlemen he took a share
in the military organisation of the county, and held the rank of colonel of militia.
When the uneasy condition of public affairs threatened war between Charles I. and
the Parliament, Colonel ffarrington took a very active part as an ardent Royalist.
In 1640 he acted as provost marshal for Lord Strange, when the powder and match
were bought at Warrington to store the magazine at Liverpool. On 11 June, 1642,
he was made a Commissioner of Array, and, when the High Sheriff summoned a
meeting of loyal subjects to hear the reading of the King's two declarations and
answer to the Lancashire petition on Preston Moor, William ffarrington, Esquire,
was there named as a collector and treasurer of the subsidy granted for the King's
use. The importance of this gentleman in the eyes of the Royalist party may be
seen by the special injunction issued by the King himself, which forbad the private
withdrawal from the county of Colonel ffarrington and his son, a proceeding which
seemed not improbable owing to the threats of arrest and removal called forth from
the Parliament by their activity in executing the Commission of Array. On 9 Feb.,
1643, William ffarrington the elder was taken prisoner in the assault on Preston;
and on Sept. 12, 1643, he had all his goods sequestered by Parliament. He was
present at both the sieges of Lathom House, and appears to have laid down his arms
soon after the surrender of the fortress. On his way home he was arrested and
thrown into prison, where he remained from July, 1646, to the following May, when
he was permitted to compound for his estates for the sum of £^Z^^ ^ricl to return to
his family. In 1649 he appears to have been forced to pay a second composition.
He was then nearing seventy years of age, and would doubtless be thankful to
exchange the turmoil of war for the retirement of his home. It was about this time
that consideration for the poverty and distress of his dependents moved him to found
and erect six almshouses for their benefit, charging certain of his lands for their
maintenance. The care of his successors has preserved and improved his benefaction
down to the present time. See Stanley Papers, vol. ii. ; ffarrington Papers ; Dis-
course of the War in Lancashire (Chetham Society's volumes), for original evidences
relating to the local biography and history of these stirring times.

^ This name is probably " Garstang," for, in that form, it is very common in the
Whittle and Heapy districts.
* This appears to be the grandson of that Hugh Anderton who, by his marriage
with the heiress of Butler, of Rawcliffe, obtained a moiety of the lordship of Clayton,
and, by subsequent purchases, became sole lord. James Anderton, of Clayton, the
son of Hugh, appears in the Preston Guild Rolls for 1582, 1602, and 1622, with a
son James and four younger sons. On the last occasion the names of five grandsons
(children of James, the eldest son) are added. In 1642 the family is represented by
James, the grandson of Hugh, who has then become "of Clayton" (arguing his
father's death), and his four elder sons.
3 "Mistris" Barett or Barret was probably a widow lady of some social standing,
but she has not yet been identified. She appears to have lost two sons within a
short period. See entry on ffeb. 19, 1654.

1 Mr. William Modsley (otherwise Mawdesley) was the second son of William
Mawdesley, of Mawdesley, Esq., and, as such, his name is entered in the family
pedigree given by St. George (1613). In the Visitation of 1664 he appears as the
first individual in a short succession under the heading of Mawdesley, of Leyland.
The arms assigned are, Sable, on a chevron between 3 pickaxes, argent, as many
annulets of the first. Crest: An eagle displayed, sable, charged on the breast with
an annulet, or. Mr. Mawdesley married Mary, d. of Edward Bamford, of Bamford,
CO. Lancaster, and had (according to the 1664 pedigree) a daughter, Margaret,
married to Ralph, son of Thurstan Leyland, of Clayton, and a son, William, whose
wife was Ellen, daughter of John Lawton, of Budworth, co. Chester. There is an
incised overlay, to the memory of this younger William, now in Leyland churchyard ;
but it is unfortunately broken at the corner where the year was given. The initials
E.M. are cut deeply into the stone in the centre. Mrs. Ellen Mawdesley was buried
on March 21, 1696-7. There is a lengthy pedigree of the family of Mawdesley, of
Mawdesley, in Baines' ZTw/^rj/ of Lancashire (edit. Croston), on page 182 of the part
which relates to Croston parish. A number of early charters, dating from 1326,
connected with lands now the property of the Rev. H. W. Bretherton, M.A.. supply
additional names of the Mawdesley line.

' This is a curious and important entry. The only William Pudsey, of Bolton,
Esq., as recorded in the full pedigree in Whittaker's History of Craven, last edition,
p. 126, was buried at Bolton on the 7th October, 1629. His first wife, Elizabeth,
died in 1601, but no information is there given as to the death of his second wife,
Katherine. _ Unless the lady whose burial is here so fully entered is an hitherto un-
recorded third wife, it is difficult to conjecture who she can have been, as there is no
other William Pudsey at this period who was the owner of the Bolton estate. Was
she a native of Leyland who had returned there to live and die?
*A curious name, perhaps for Lewis or Louis.
3 Mr. Richard Clayton, of Crook in Whittle, was the last male representative, in
the direct male line, of a younger branch of the family of Clayton of Clayton, which
settled at Crook in the latter part of the sixteenth century. Dr. Kuerden tells us in
his Itinerary that Dr. Richard Clayton (who was great uncle to the subject of this
note) built the New Crook, and it was probably the wealth inherited from him which
made the importance of the family at this time. The Dr. Clayton referred to was
Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, Master of Magdalene College, and soon
after Master of St. John's College, Dean of Peterborough, and Archdeacon of Lincoln,
In the Inq. p.m. (1612) his nearest of kin was declared to be John Clayton, the son
of his brother Ralph (then deceased). This John was the father of Mr. Richard
Clayton, whose burial is here recorded. The widow of this gentleman, who was a
daughter of Wm. ffarrington, Esq. (the Royalist), became the third wife of Sir Peter
Brooke, of Mere.

^ Mistris Ann Charnock was the daughter of Robert Manley, of Broughton, co.
Northampton, and widow of Roger Charnock, gentleman, of Leyland, who was
descended from the Charnocks of Charnock and Astley. There is a rudely incised
stone, to the memory of these two persons, now lying within a few feet of the east
wall of Leyland Church. The stone records the death of the husband " Die S. Joseph
sacro A.D. 1632," and of the wife "P. festo S. Johan: Bapt: 1659." In the Subsidy
Roll of 1628, "Roger Charnock, Gent., a Convict Recusant," is mulct to the extent
of 21 shillings and 4 pence. The house where this worthy couple resided (called
Leyland Hall) descended to their son Robert, who was a priest in Roman Orders.
Owing to the disposition which this latter gentleman made of his estate, a consider-
able amount of litigation arose, which was not concluded until the whole was declared
to be forfeit to the Crown.

^ This lady was the daughter of Henry Worrall, of Wyssel, co. Notts, Esquire,
and the widow of William ffarrington, Esquire (the Royalist), of whom a notice will
be found on page i8i. Her experiences during the Civil War were far from agree-
able, for the Parliamentary sequestrators scarcely left her anything to live upon, and
she could not obtain the "puture" or one-fifth portion officially allowed for her
maintenance. In the ffarrington Papers several glimpses of this much harassed lady
may be obtained. Portraits of Mrs. ffarrington and her husband are now in the
Worden collection.

^ Cawbeck is the name of a stream which runs into the River Yarrow. The local
explanation of the name is, that a certain Prince (generally stated to have been
Charles II., \vhen seeking refuge at Euxton hall) exclaimed, after drinking a draught
from it, "What a refreshing cool-beck.'''' The Cawbek or Culbeck of the text is
farm house. See p. 64.

M^^s ffrancis,! daughter of M'^ Edward Tilsley
1 M'^is ffrances Tyldesley was probably only a child or a very young person at the
date of her death. To account for her burial at Leyland we may suppose that she
was living with her grandmother, Lady Frances Tyldesley, who at this time resided
at Leyland Hall. Lady Tyldesley was the daughter of Ralph Standish, of Standish,
Esquire, and the widow of the gallant major-general who fell at Wigan Lane in 1 651.
We learn from the evidence given by her before the Commissioners appointed to
interrogate witnesses for the Exchequer Court in the case (Attorney-General v.
Gaynor Jones and William Crosse) that Lady Tyldesley farmed the estate called
Leyland Hall for seven years after the death of Robert Charnock's mother in 1659,
and that she continued to reside there, for the most part, until the death of Mr.
Charnock himself in 1670. She also stated that her eldest son, Edward Tyldesley,.
Esq. (mentioned in the text), who was deceased in 1687, the date of the depositions,
had assisted Robert Charnock in various ways, and in particular by the gift and
allowance of the tythes of Fulwood (amounting to some £2^ per annum). We may
conjecture that this gift would be employed by Mr. Charnock in the propaganda
which he was actively carrying on in the neighbouring districts in his capacity as
Vicar Apostolic. See the note on p. 210.

^ Mr. Thomas Clayton, of Fulwood, near Preston, mentioned in the text, was
apparently the eldest son of William Clayton, of Leyland, gent., by his wife
Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas Rigbye, of Harrock, Esquire, His name occurs
with those of his father and four brothers in the Preston Guild Rolls for 1602 and
1622. In 1642 and 1662 he is entered as "Thomas Clayton de Fulwood, gen:"
with sons, brothers, and brothers' sons. William Clayton, his father, is said to have
died in 163 1, and these entries help to that conclusion. In the Heralds' Visitation of
1664 he is entered as of Old Croke (in Whittle-le-Woods) and Fulwood, and his age
is given as 78 years. In the Discourse of the War (Chetham Soc, vol. 62) we read
that Colonel (Alex.) Rigbye in 1643, among the captains whom he appointed within
the Hundred of Amounderness, selected "Mr. Claton an Ancient Gentleman
dwelling about ffulwood More." As the age of the gentleman noted above would
be about 57 years, this reference may possibly apply to him. See also note on
Jan. 16, 1670-1.
* Notice this unusual name; the letters are quite distinct.
3 The letter in is written, but « is probably correct. Mr. Wm. Stanfield was the
father-in-law of Seth Bushell, the Puritan minister of Euxton. There is a well-
known farm in Euxton which is still called Stanfield House.

' M"" Clayton was doubtless the widow of the Mr. Thomas Clayton, of Fulwood,
buried on August 13, 1669. If so, her name was Anna, and her father was Robert
Blundell, of Ince lilundell, Esq. She had two sons and one daughter. Robert, the
elder, seems to have made himself a name and a fortune in Liverpool. Gregson,
Fragments, p. 175, says that he was buried at S. Nicholas' Church in that town. He
succeeded to the Fulwood and other property of his father. Thomas, the younger
son, became a successful and wealthy merchant (? first in Liverpool), and in 1664 is
entered in the pedigree as a "citizen of London." He purchased the manors of
Worthington and Adlington, and became the head of the family of Clayton, of
Adlington. He lived to a great age, and did not die until 1721. The two brothers
married two sisters, Helen and Ann, daughters of John Atherton, of Atherton,
Esquire. Their own sister, Ann Clayton, married Mr. Robert Livesey, of Livesey,
in Blackburn parish. Robert Clayton, de Fulwood, gen: was entered on the Preston
Guild Roll of 1682 with four sons, Thomas, William, John, and Richard. To the
name of the eldest son Thomas is added "Armiger," which is not easy of explana-
tion seeing that he became a clergyman, and in 1664 was Rector of Bolton in
Bolland. From the third son John, who appears to have been an M.D. in Dublin,
descended Bishop Robert Clayton, of Killala, then of Cork, and finally of Clogher,
who, at the death of his father John Clayton (Dean of Kildare), entered upon the
possession of the Fulwood property as the eldest male representative of the direct
line. The Bishop, having at his death (25 Feb., 1758) neither brother nor son,
bequeathed his Lancashire estates to Chief Justice Richard Clayton, of the Adlington
branch, a grandson of the subject of this note. Among the Foreign Burgesses at
Preston Guild in 1682 we find "Thomas Clayton de Leverpool, Mercator," together
with sons Richard, Thomas, and Robert. If this be the Thomas who married Ann
Atherton, we have two names not usually found in the published pedigrees. Richard,
the eldest son, succeeded to the manor of Adlington, and died in 1728. Robert is
conjectured to have become a courtier, and finally the first Viscount Sundon and the
husband of Charlotte Dyves, Mistress of the Robes to Caroline, Queen of George II.
There were seven daughters, of whom three only were married. Eleanor became the
wifci of Nicholas Rigbye, of Harrock, Esquire. I am much indebted to W. Browne
Clayton, Esq., for kind assistance with the Clayton pedigree.
'^ Mr. Robert Charnock was the second but eldest surviving son of Roger
Charnock, gentleman, of Leyland, and his wife Ann, daughter of Robert Manley, of
Broughton, co. Northampton. From the 1664 pedigree of his family, which was a
younger branch of that of Charnock, of Charnock and Astley, he appears to have
been the youngest child. His parents, in common with many others of their name,
were resolute in their unwillingness to conform to the public ministrations of religion.
Mr. Robert Charnock, the subject of this note, was early destined for the priesthood,
and was sent to Lisbon for training. His name does not appear among the Jesuits
who came to England, and there is reason to believe that he was a secular priest.

Edward Parker, of Leyland ffeb. 6
James Watson, of Whittle „ 7
He was known "in religion" as Father Manley, taking, according to a common
custom, the name of his maternal grandparent. His activity in the work to which
he was appointed is sufficiently attested by the various references to his visits in the
secret diaries which are here and there in existence {e.g.., at Scarisbrick), and by his
future eminence among his brethren. Apparently he was known to most of his
neighbours and fellow-countrymen as a gentleman possessed of landed estate which
he farmed for his own benefit. As a matter of fact he did devote some of his atten-
tion to these matters, even while carrying on his mission duties. He exercised
considerable influence in Lancashire and the neighbouring counties among those
who shared his convictions, for he held the office of Vicar Apostolic for the North,
which gave him the Pope's authority to fulfil all the duties of a bishop which are
possible to one not of that order. Only the power to confirm and to ordain deacons
or priests was withheld. Being the last of his family he desired to settle his estate
in such a manner as to benefit his co-religionists. Allusion has already been made
in a previous note (page 204) to the residence of Lady Frances Tyldesley at Mr.
Charnock's house during eleven years. Also that M"* Grace Bold acted as house-
keeper for Mr. Charnock for the last four of these. This latter person had been the
personal attendant of Lady Tyldesley, to whom she came when in distressed circum-
stances. In after years Grace Bold used to assert that her father turned her out of
his home owing to her forsaking the Church of England for the Romish religion.
That fact is more than doubtful, but at all events she did yield to the arguments and
persuasions of Mr. Charnock, and in 1644 was by him received into the Roman
communion. In course of time ^Mr. Charnock came to place great confidence in her,
and conducted much pecuniary business in her name. Hence when making a settle-
ment of his affairs in January, 1660, he conveyed his estate to Willoughby Manley
and Robert Charnock, and at their death to Grace Bold. At the death of Mr.
Charnock, Grace Bold held possession of his estates, asserting that Leyland Hall
had been purchased by her from the late owner. No objection was raised at the
time, because Mr. Charnock's friends understood that a fictitious transfer had been
made, in order to render the fulfilment of Mr. Charnock's wishes a possibility. At
Grace Bold's death the estate was passed to Mr. William Crosse, of Darwin, and
Mrs. Gaynor Jones, widow. The former of these had married a sister of Grace Bold,
and the latter was another sister. In the opinion of Mr. Charnock's co-religionists
who were privy to the trust the lands were misapplied, and they "discovered the
matter."
In 1 686 the Attorney-General brought an Information against the Appellants,
and witnesses were examined. The case submitted to the jury at the Summer
Assizes held at Lancaster was "Whether the conveyance of Leyland Hall, &c., to
Grace Bold was made, declared, or intended upon any Trust, and upon what Trust."
The verdict on this occasion was given in the following terms : — "That Leyland Hall
was conveyed to Grace Bold in Trust, for the support and maintenance of Priests of
the Romish Religion, viz.. In Trust for the Support of the Priests of the Secular
Clergy of the Romish Religion in the County of Lancaster." Upon this verdict the
Court of Exchequer in 1688 decreed these lands and the trust thereof to the King
as forfeited. A petition from the vicar of Leyland, with certain knights of the shire
and burgesses, was presented to the Crown praying that the estate might be conveyed
to trustees for the benefit of the present and future orthodox ministers holding the
vicarage of Leyland, which was then of very small value. After directions were
given for this grant, and as the same was passing, the Defendants Crosse and Jones
brought in a Bill of Review of this decree of the Exchequer Court. The result was
that the Court affirmed the decree, with the explanation or addition that "the
Premises should be disposed of to such charitable and pious uses as their majesties
[William and Mary] should appoint and think fit." Again directions were given for
passing the grant in trust for the vicar of Leyland, but again Crosse and Gaynor
Jones appealed; but they were not successful in averting the final transfer of the
lands to the vicar of Leyland. The original papers connected with every stage of
212 Ley land Registers.

this interesting case are deposited at Leyland vicarage, as well as the trust deed
engrossed on parchment and having a very fine specimen of the broad seal of
William and Mary appended to it. The depositions of witnesses taken at Leyland
in 1687 contain a considerable amount of interesting local information, and enable
one to become en rapport with the people and the times. The following may
perhaps prove worth recording. The examination was held at the house of Henry
Breckhill, of Leyland, innkeeper, on April 3rd, before John ffarnworth, Thomas
Hodgkinson, Robert Pigott, and John Roberts, gentlemen. Lady Tyldesley, of
Morleys, gave her age as 71 years or thereabouts. She stated that Mr. Charnock at
one time expressed his intention of so leaving Leyland Hall that *' in case the
Catholique religion came again to be established in England the same should go to
Jesus Chappel in Leyland Church." [This must have meant the founding of a new
chantry, for there is no mention of any such dedication in pre-Reformation days.]
Another witness asserted that Mr. Charnock had declared his resolution "that if itt
please God to send them a Bishopp he intended the same house for him until a
better should be provided."
The evidence of Mr. William Gradell (Gradwell), of Berbers Moor in Ulnes-
walton, gent., is interesting and important. He gave his age as d^ years and
upwards, and stated that he was intimately acquainted with Mr. Charnock and his
affairs. There was indeed a tie of relationship between them, although not a very
close one. From a pedigree published by W. A. Abram, Esq., in the Preston
Guardian of 1 884, we learn that this gentleman had married Elizabeth, daughter of
John Butler, of Kirkland, Esq., and that he succeeded as a minor to his father's
property in 1630. The date of his death is thought to have been near the end of the
seventeenth century. From this present evidence it may be concluded that he was
born in 1619, and was still living in 1687. After repeating at length similar testimony
to that contributed by Lady Tildesley and others, Mr. Gradwell stated that shortly
after Mr. Charnock's death one Mr. Gerard, a Romish priest (deceased in 1687),
visited Grace Bold, and urged her to convey and settle the estate according to the
trust reposed in her. This she agreed to do, and a conveyance was drawn by a Mr.
George Pigot, of Preston, leaving blanks for the names, which were afterwards filled
in, with Grace Bold as grantor and Richard Sherbourne, Esq., and Thomas Walton,
late (in 1687) of Walton, gent., as grantees. This deed was deposited in the care of
Mr. Gradwell; but in a short time Grace Bold demanded it back, and threatened an
action in Chancery for that purpose. Mr. Gradwell thereupon "repaired to" Mr.
Gerard (mentioned above) and one Mr. Moore, another Romish priest (then a
Superior), who agreed that "the times were not for them nor had they a purse
wherewith to controvert the matter," and so the conveyance had better be given up.
[It is difficult to identify these two priests, as no names given in Foley's Jesuits seem
to correspond.] Mr. Gradwell further stated that Grace Bold died "within two
years last past" {i.e., in 1685). He acknowledged the genuineness of various writings
signed by Robert Charnock and others, thus incidentally giving information, e.g.y
Susan Charnock, of Leyland, signs as a spinster on 13 Feb., 1659-60; the purchase
of Starkie's tenement [still known in Leyland] from Henry Wright took place on
Dec. 14, 1664; Mrs. Westbie lived at Leyland Hall "about five or six years agoe"
[168 1 -2] when M"s Bold was reported as willing to sell the estate owing to her then
residence with her relations in Wales.
Several other gentlemen and yeomen gave evidence, and among them we may
mention Mr. Christopher Anderton, of Clayton, gent., of the age of 60 years and
upwards; Mr. Alex. Butler, of Goderstaffe, co. Lane, gent., of the age of 38 years
or thereabouts; Richard Sherdley, of Leyland, yeoman, &c., &c. Mrs. Susan
Orrell, of Leyland, widow, of the age of 80 years, was one of the sisters of Mr.
Charnock and probably the relict of Mr. Richard Orrell, whose name appears on
some of the writings certified to by Mr. Gradwell. The Letters Patent for the con-
veyance of the disputed lands, which was issued in 1690 under the Great Seal,,
contains an enumeration of the fields included within the demesne mentioning them

three sons of Ralph Crichlow, senior, and Catherine Tootel, his wife, of the parish
of Leyland. There were four sons and two daughters in the family, of whom three
sons, William, Oliver, and Richard, were admitted and took the oath at Douay in
successive years, 1627, 1628, and 1629. Condensing the information given we may
say that the parents belonged to the middle class of society and were in moderate
circumstances. "All their relations except one were Catholics." William, the
eldest (born about 1600), after beginning his education took to mercantile pursuits
until 23 years of age, when he again returned to his studies. On June 17, 1626, he
left England. He was known "in religion" as William Foster. His ordination as

sub-deacon, deacon, and priest took place in September and October, 1631. After
a few years he was sent to England, and left the College on April 2, 1634. He is
spoken of as "a pious man and an example of all good." Oliver, the second
brother [known as John Foster], his brother William, and others were arrested
between London and Dover on their way to Douay about the year 1624, and were
thrown into the Tower, from which a bribe of ;!^20 effected their escape. Oliver was
admitted to the College in 1628, when about 21 years of age, and received ordination
as priest in 1634. On April 12, 1635, he was despatched to England as a missioner.
He is described as "a man of remarkable virtue, distinguished for humility."
Richard, the youngest son [known as Christopher Foster], was admitted to Douay in
1629, being then about 19 years old. He was ordained priest on April 15, 1634,
and sent on the English mission in March, 1636. In the students' replies he states
that he "studied at home until fourteen years of age; then, when on his way in
company with others to prosecute his studies in Lower Germany, he was captured on
the River Thames and taken back to London, and was detained there in gaol by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, who examined him. Some months after, having obtained
his liberty, he was compelled to return home. In the following year he went to
London, seeing an opportunity of embarking; but the plague raged there, and he
was compelled a second time to return home. He made his humanities at St.
Omer's College for three years."

1 William ffarrington, ofWorden, Esq., was the eldest son of the High Sheriff
of 1636 and his wife Margaret (Worral), and succeeded to the family estates in 1658.
He and his father were very actively engaged during the Civil War on the King's
behalf. It is often difficult to distinguish these gentlemen in the accounts, owing to
the identity of name; but William ffarrington the younger is meant when we read
of the doings of Captain ffarrington. Both assisted in the defence of Lathom House.
The elder is usually called "the Royalist," or "Colonel ffarrington." At the
restoration the honour of admission among the proposed Knights of the Oak was
intended for Captain ffarrington had not the scheme been abandoned. His name is
found among the Foreign Burgesses on the Preston Guild Rolls for 1622, 1642,
1662. By his wife Katherine (ffleetwood) he had two sons (perhaps three) and four
daughters. He was one of the parties to the deed of settlement, &c., respecting the
Almshouses mentioned on page 207. His will (dated Feb. 20, 1672) was proved at
Chester in 1673.

^ The Henry ffarington whose burial is here recorded was baptised at Leyland on
July 17, 1655. He married Anne, daughter of Henry Dicconson, of Wrightington
(in Eccleston parish), and died without issue and before his parents. His mother
was Susan, daughter of Degory Weare, D.D., Professor of History at Oxford. His
father was the son and heir of William ffarington, Esq. (the proposed Knight of the
Oak), and his wife Katharine (fifleetwood).
'Mr. ffrancis Woodcock was the second son of John Woodcock, gent., of
Cuerden (Crowtrees). He was entered with his father and brothers, Thomas and
William, at the Preston Guild of 1622. In 1642 the youngest brother was not
entered with them. John Woodcock, the father, was dead in 1662 (? buried at
Leyland, Aug. 17, 1655), but the eldest son, Thomas (brother of ffrancis), was
entered at that Guild as "of Cuerden Green, Gent." There is an entry of a
"ffrancis Woodcock de Walton," with sons John and Thomas, at that same Guild.
Possibly this person may be identical with the gentleman whose burial is here
recorded.
3 Probably an unmarried daughter of James Anderton, of Clayton, Esq. Her
name is mentioned in a deed of conveyance (made in July, 1655) whereby her father
sold to Robert Low, of Whittle, sundry property of which the latter had been tenant.
Four brothers and four sisters are named in the deed.

1 Of Buckshaw in Euxton; formerly major in the Parliamentary army for the
Kirkham district. Some account of this gentleman will be found on pages 23 and
24, also see pp. 26, 179, 180. From \)\q: ffarington papers we may add the following
local touches to the story of the Civil War, e.g. as given by the author (? Major
Robinson himself) in the Discourse of the War. " In August, 1643, certain soldiers
under comand of Major Robinson did take out of the demayne grounds [of W"^
ffarington, Esq'^], at Littlewood, one and twentie steers, valued by Alex' Brears and
Henry Wiggans at ;^90." ** In the same year, Troopers, under command of Major
Robinson, did take out of the demayne grounds at Penwortham one and twenty
stears all 3 yr old, valued att £'j-^: lo." Abram's Memorials of Preston Guilds
informs us that "In April, 1643, Preston was occupied by a detachment of Col:
Ashton's Parliamentarian force under Captain Edward Robinson, of Westby Hall,
and of Buckshawe, in Euxton ..." In the Council Book of Preston I find this
entry: "Edward Robinson, gent, admitted [a Burgess by copy of Court Roll] 23
dale December, 1644, pro seipso tantum [for himself alone] gratis." Mr. Robinson
was not entered at any succeeding Guild, but his sons, John and Edward, appear in
1662 and again in 1682.

^ Mr. Thurstan Anderton was the second son of James Anderton, of Clayton,
Esq., and brother of Elizabeth and Eleanor Anderton, buried Dec. 18, 1678, and
Ap. 22, 1679. The lordship of Clayton, which had been mortgaged by James
Anderton, Esq., to — Dicconson, of Wrightington, Esq., was after several years
redeemed by Caryl, Lord Molyneux, Viscount Maryborough, in the name of
Thurstan, Christopher, and William Anderton (about 1672). After the death of
Thurstan, the two latter sold their right in the lordship to Viscount Maryborough,
and retired to Bardsey. See Baines' History of Lancashire, under Claytoji township.
Bardsey-in-Furness became their inheritance through the marriage of Elizabeth, the
elder heiress of Nicholas Bardsea, who died in 1642, This Elizabeth married James
Anderton, Esq., of Clayton. William and Christopher Anderton occupied the
mansion in 1672. In 1726 that estate also passed into the hands of the Molineux
family.

3 There is a rather roughly cut slab (of Wheelton stone) close to the outer wall on
the S.E. side of Leyland Church which records the names and dates of burial of
several members of the Armetriding family, of which this John Armetriding is the
first. He is described as "of the Armetryding in Euxton, Maltster." According
to the stone, he died on Aug. 13, 1684, aged 63 years. He was the father of the
Reverend Thomas Armetriding, M.A., Vicar of Leyland from 1689 to 1719. He
was probably the son of Richard, and grandson of John Armetriding, who was
admitted at the Preston Guild of 1602, as a stallenger, on payment of liiijs iiid., and
entered at the successive Guilds of 1622 and 1642. Richard Armetriding seems to
have lived through four Guilds, being entered in 1602, 1622, 1642, and 1662. At
the two last his son John (supposed to be the subject of this note) is entered with
him.

'Although unable to identify with certainty the individual here named, it may be
useful to note the following: — Mr. Thomas Stanley, son of Edward Stanley, of
Moor Hall, Esq., was a legatee under the will of his brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas
Walmesley, of Banister Hall (in Walton-le-Dale), who died in 1637. As Mr.
Walmesley was only a little over thirty when he died, the dates do not altogether
forbid an identification. Banister Hall is not far from Cuerden Old Hall, the home
of Dr. Kuerden. Thomas Stanley, gen., was entered as present at the Preston Guild
of 1642. In the succeeding Guilds of 1662 and 1682 we find Thomas Stanley, Esq.,
of Eccleston, and his son Richard, among the Foreign Burgesses.
- There is a family of the name Hilton or Hulton, of Brindle, enrolled among
the Burgesses of the Preston Guilds of 1642-1682. The first member is a "tanner,"
another is a "farmer," while a third has the title "generosus." Possibly the Mr.
Hulton of the text was one of them.
3 This was the second son of Mr. Richard Fleetwood and his wife Margaret (see
page 60, also page 143, note). There is a memorial stone to his memory now lying
outside the vestry door of Leyland Church, where it was placed on its removal (with
several others) from the floor of the chancel in 1875. It is from the Wheelton
quarries, of a dark red colour, and has the letters in relief. This child only lived
two years, having been born on May 7, 1684.

^ There is a stone lying to the south-west of the tower of Leyland Church
recording the death of Margaret, wife of Thurstan Leyland. It is in an excellent
state of preservation, as is generally the case with memorials which have the letters
standing up in relief. The marriage of Margaret Nelson, of Ulneswalton, with
Thurstan Leyland, of Clayton, took place at Leyland Church on Dec. 6, 1678. She
was 27 years old at her death.
* See page 7 (note).
3 These three sons of Alexander Breres, yeoman, were entered with him at the

1 Probably some retainer or servant in the household of Henry fFarington, Esq.
Worden, the family home of the ffaringtons, lies at the south-eastern corner of the
township of Leyland, where the boundary touches Whittle-le-Woods and Euxton.
The estate was purchased from the Andertons by Sir Henry ffarington in 1534 for
his male heir, who was the fourth but only surviving son, and the only child of Sir
Henry's second wife. The ancient family domain of ffarington was settled on the
heirs of Sir Henry's eldest son, so that it passed away through the female line to the
possession of strangers. The Worden mansion was reconstructed by Sir Henry's
son, afterwards known as the old Comptroller. It remained as the chief seat of the
family until about 1736, when George ffarington, Esq., made Shawe Hall to be the
more important residence. Sir William ffarington, who succeeded to the estates in
1742, completed the migration by transferring all of the furnishing, pictures,
panelling, &c., which were thought to be interesting and valuable to the more
modern mansion. The old hall at Worden was much reduced in size, and degraded
to the position of a farm house for the demesne. Notwithstanding all this the
building is a noticeable one, and presents many features of interest. Can anyone
suggest how it came by its name ? Did the estate at any time belong to a family of
the name of Worden before it came into the possession of the Andertons ? There
has been a family of the rank of yeomen or lesser gentry of that name resident in
Clayton, or thereabouts, from remote times.

necessity for holiness. It was worn until the mother went to be churched. A
chrysom-child was one which died in the interval. The final rubric of the Churching
Service in the Prayer Book of 1549 ordered the woman to ''offer her chrism and
other accustomed offerings," when she made her thanksgiving. The use of the
chrysom was abandoned in 1552, and not resumed at any subsequent revision.

of Vicar Armetriding. See p. 78 (note).

2 Instituted February 17th, 1684-5, on the death of the late Vicar, the Rev. John
Rishton. At the Preston Guild of 1682 the name of George Walmesley, " Clericus,"
appears among the In-burgesses. Until the restoration of Leyland Church, in 1875,
a flat stone with an inscription to the memory of Vicar Walmesley used to lie under
the Communion Table. For some years it lay near the exterior of the vestry, but
has now been fixed in an upright position on the south side of the chancel. It may
there perhaps escape the destruction which was inevitable while it lay exposed to
daily traffic. The Rev. George Walmesley is described on his memorial as "hujus
parochioe vicarius, vir prope divinus." He was 34 years old at his death.

^ See page 54, note (-).
* The eldest sister of Mr. Robert Charnock, of Leyland Old Hall. (See pp. 210-
213.) Her name appears in the pedigree entered by the Heralds in 1616. She was
called as a witness before the Commissioners in 1687, and there stated that she was
a widow, and of the age of eighty years or thereabouts. If born in 1607 she must
have been the eldest child of the family, and, apparently, was the last survivor. If
the signature referred to in Mr. Grawell's evidence was her's, then she was unmarried
as late as February 13, 1659-60. Mr. Richard Orrell was also a party to some of
Mr. Charnock's pecuniary transactions, and there is reason to believe that he became
the husband of Susan Charnock, the sister. If so, their married life was very brief,
as Mr. Orrell died February 23, 166 1-2, and was buried at Leyland.

» Mr. Ralph Rushton (or Rishton) may perhaps be identified with the person of
that name, who was elected as a member of the Council of Preston on March 4,
1678-9, and acted as an Alderman of the Guild of 1682. Among the In-Burgesses
at the Guild of 1662 we find Geoffrey Rishton, Esq., with sons, Edward and Ralph.
The last of these took the oath on August 6, 1674. The Rev, John Rishton, Vicar
of Leyland (from 1677- 1684), had an elder brother named Ralph. Their mother
was a daughter of William Anderton, of Euxton, Esq. These last were of the
" Ponthalgh" family.

' See entry on March 9, 1662, also on Dec. 2, 1696. There are two tenements.
Close House and Lower Close House, situated to the south-east of the township, and
near to Stanworth.
^ See note on page 89. Clayton Hall had at this time passed from the Andertons
into the possession of Caiyll, 3rd Viscount Molineux. Mr. Sherd was probably a
lessee or tenant. Six of his children were baptised at Leyland, three of which were
also buried there as infants. A son Hugh, probably born earlier than any of these,
was buried in 1695. ^^o entries connected with this family occur after 1705.
3 In Abj-avi's Memorials of Preston Guilds, page 71, we find the following extract
from the Council Book: " ii July, 1701. M' Christopher Nowell, having now some
considerable time been an inhabitant of Leyland, was at his own request discharged
from the Council, &c." "13 May, 1685. Ordered that Cristopher Nowell bee
desired to procure a box for putting in of ye new Charter and that he also take care
to send ye same to M^ Mallory al London with direc'cons to deliver ye same to
M"^ Will'm Patten, when he shall call for ye same in order to passe it under ye
Dutchy Seale." Mr. Christopher Nowell was one of the seventeen Capital Burgesses
or Councilmen named in the second Charter of Charles IL (dated 1684-5) granted to
the town of Preston. Mr. Christopher Nowell was an Alderman of the Guild of
1682, and his name, together with sons Thomas and John, is recorded on the Roll.
Among those who paid a fine and so were admitted at the Guild of 1662 we find a
certain Christopher Nowell, and a similar means procured the admission of an
apprentice of Christopher Nowell in 1682. Apparently there were two individuals
of the same name citizens of Preston about this time. There was a family connection
between the Nowells, of Reed, and the ffaringtons, of Worden, Alexander Nowell,
Esq., having married Margaret, daughter of William and Katharine ffarington, of
Worden. The Guild Rolls from 1622 to 1682 contain entries of the heads of the
Nowell family, but no Christopher appears among them. He may have been a
younger son of a younger son.

* The infant child of Mr. William ffarington and his wife Elizabeth (Rufine), and
grandchild of Mr. George ffarington, of Shawe Hall. Her father afterwards suc-
ceeded to the Worden estates, owing to the death of William ffarington, Esq. (a first
cousin) without issue.
3 Mrs. Susannah Farington was the widow of Henry ffarington, Esq., of Worden,
the entry of whose burial will be found on March 14, 169 1-2. Her father was Dr.
Digory Weare, Professor of History at Oxford, and Principal of Gloucester Hall.
The marriage seems to have taken place in 1658 — probably in Oxford. There were
two sons and four daughters as the issue of the marriage. Henry, the eldest son,
died in the lifetime of his parents, and without children, so that his brother William
succeeded to the family honours. The wife of Vicar Armetriding was the eldest
daughter of Mrs. Susanna Farington.

the eldest brother of Vicar Armetriding, and son of John Armetriding, maltster, of
Euxton, who was buried on August 13, 1684 (see note thereon). The inscription on
the family tomb states that at death he was in his 42nd year. His name is given in
the Letters Patent, issued under the Great Seal in 1690, as one of the Trustees to
whom Leyland Hall was conveyed for the benefit of future Vicars of Leyland. (See
note on ffeb. 4, 1670, when Mr. Robert Charnock was buried.) See entry of
Baptism, Jan. 10, 1657.

1 Part of Leyland is still known as Lower Side. It is applied to the portion of
the township which lies west of Leyland Lane or of the River Lostock. There is a
farm on the left of Leyland Lane called "Atherton's."
^This infant, baptised on Oct. 8, 1701, was the son of Mr. Wm. Farington and
his wife Elizabeth (Rufine), and grandchild of Mr. George Farington, of Shawe Hall.
3 This gives almost exactly the local pronunciation of the more common name
" Hey wood."

' Mrs. Mary Anderton was a daughter of William fFarington, Esq., and his wife
Katharine (ffleetwood). Can she be identified with the Mary (M"^ Mary Leake), of
Worden, married at Leyland on July 6, 1670, to ]Mr. William Anderton, of Euxton ?
If so, there must have been a previous marriage. The family pedigrees give no
assistance. See note on page 136.

* This is probably the William Anderton, of Euxton, who was aged 26 years at
the Herald's Visitation in 1664. See note page 136, also on March i, 1702 (Burials).
It is very difficult, however, to be sure of the identity of the different members of
this extensive family, for there is great confusion in the various notices of them, and
some errors in the dates. The Andertons of Clayton, of Euxton, and of Lostock are
not clearly distinguished. The Preston Guild Rolls are entirely silent as to any
"Anderton of Euxton." At the Guild of 1582, James Anderton, of Clayton, Ar.,
and his sons are entered, and the head of the family and his heirs appear among the
Foreign Burgesses down to 1682. The fact seems to be that the Euxton and Clayton
estates went together until the settlement of a younger branch at Euxton. The
Clayton branch had the lordship of their manor of Clayton, which was not the case
with Euxton until recent times. By the end of the 17th century the Andertons, of
Clayton, had died out, whereas the Euxton branch became gradually more wealthy
.and better known, and has continued in possession down to the present time.
